Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog

Signs, Signs, Everywhere's A Sign
Signs, Signs, Everywhere's A Sign



         Yeah, I know it was a song           long ago, this post is not about that song, nor anything close to it.


         You might remember that I enjoy driving, a lot more than some people.  I've seen some signs that make you ask, "What?"  Here's some examples

         1.  Slow Children Playing - I've mentioned this one before, so I'll keep this one short.  Why do the towns/cities insist on picking on slow children?  I've never seen a warning sign about Fast Children playing.  Maybe they are so fast that your can't see them.

         2.  There are a lot of signs around right now about 'Uneven Lanes'.  Hmmmm, Uneven huh.  That means that they are 'Odd' lanes.  The workers or whoever are just being nice to not call them Odd Lanes.  That might hurt their feelings after all.  Despite all this, I never see a reference to a lane number, like 1, 3, 5 or what.  If Uneven Lanes are around, what about Even Lanes?  Yeah, I never see signs for them, nor their numbers.  What's going on?  Why the preferential treatment for the Uneven Lanes?

         3.  I was dining in a restaurant one time when in the back I saw a sign for 'Sanitary Restrooms'.  That really made me wonder if the place had Unsanitary Restrooms.  I began to have second thoughts about dining there.

         4.  I once saw a semi-truck on a highway with a sign on the back that read, 'Inedible Animal Food'.  That one really made my head spin for a few minutes.  What could they be transporting then?  Human food?

         5.  There there was a sign next to an air pump that read, 'Free Air, while supplies last'! I'm telling you, I'm not making this up!

         6.  Or a sign in NYC that read, 'Senior Citizen Crossing Ahead'!  I wondered then, was that the only place that Senior Citizens could cross the street?


I'm sure there are more out there.  Maybe you've seen odd signs around...
