31 Outrageously Funny Signs That Cause Sign-ificant Laughter (June 26, 2024)

I wonder how many signs I see on an average day. They are everywhere! From giant billboards telling me what I should buy to tiny leaflets asking me if I want guitar lessons to just plain, boring signs telling me to slow down or where the exit is located.

Don't you find it strange that we don't have a “look” these days? If we look back exactly 100 years, to the roaring 20s, fashion had a certain look to it; you could identify that people are from the 1920s just from the way they dressed.
