From what I’ve been told, maternity wards should come with warning signs like these (and some homes with kids under 3 should probably be plastered with them as well):

OK, some kids are pretty annoying, but I’d probably wear a t-shirt into this coffeeshop that read “Free rabid raccoon to anyone giving my kid espresso or puppies”:

Finally, doesn’t everyone want a one year old that looks like this after a year?

That’s almost a spitting image of Anita’s first baby at 12 months, except he had blonde hair, and wasn’t asian, and had a few more rolls, oh … and he liked Firestone tires much more than Michelin.

Reading passive aggressive notes written to other people, however, is absolute comedy gold.

Here are a few of my favorites from this absolutely brilliant archive:

This one’s actually pretty similar to the one my ex-roomy left me, except we had a dishwasher so I’m not sure what her deal was.

I post this one not because it is terribly funny, but because I feel the need to heap more attention on the nation’s shocking lack of any innovative technology in the way of self-replenishing refrigerators.

Seriously, man! TACKY.

This one is great because of the Christmas Spirit-y, decorative stationary.

And lastly, happy 4th of July to the American readers out there. Enjoy your fireworks and barbecues and ice cream and everything.

For about $4 U.S., you can have a big hunk of spam, lettuce, tomato, and an over-easy egg. So yummy, you’ll go “Boing” when you eat it.

Anyone know if Freshness Burger still sells Spam Sandwiches?

I wonder if they also accept trade-ins? Or maybe I can trade up from a new goat to a slightly used cow?

For those wondering where the sign is located … I’m told that if you drive South from Louisville, Kentucky along Interstate 65, you’ll see the sign on a parallel country road within half an hour.

How do you unrecycle something? Does the Chinese government fill up the can with trash and require pedestrians to take some with them? That’s my assessment after seeing this puzzling unrecycling logo:

I’d love to learn the real usage, or just read your guesses.

This sign shows the full Welsh name of a town (and its train station) in the UK. The top half is written in Welsh, the bottom half is supposed to be the oh-so-helpful English pronunciation. Whew, thank goodness for the guide, much easier now.

Surprisingly, the 58 letter Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch isn’t the longest place name in the world – one city in Thailand has over 163 letters! However, it does appear to be the longest name ever shown on a sign.

Even town restaurants, pubs, and other businesses use the town’s full name to help attract tourists:

I wonder how many high school kids try to steal one of these to hang in their bedroom? Try carrying that one off to college!

Why is the sign only in English? Why isn’t it in Braille as well? What a cruel trick.

(thanks Delina!)

I’m not sure if this sign would pursuade me to turn around, or jump the fence to see these extraordinary frogs in action.
