Will and Guy's Funny Road SignsPictures taken from both English, French and American funny road signs. Funny Road Signs
Diesel Fried ChickenI have stopped at the motorway services and had a McDonald's; I have even had a Burger King. And when I was in America I often pulled over at Wendy's, but I never did see this franchise: Diesel Fried Chicken. Do you know if the meat is extra greasy? The above Diesel Fried Chicken wins my award for the funniest road sign, however if you have a better sign, then send it in and we will publish it. Update: Fact stranger than fiction MORGANTOWN, West Va.: A professor in chemical engineering at West Virginia University has found a way to run a diesel engine on chicken manure. Now you don't just shovel it into the tank, you have to turn it into a liquid first, then mix it with about two-thirds diesel fuel. Enterprising Ronald McDonaldOne urban myth has it that McDonald's were carrying out a major market research project. Rumour has it that Ronald McDonald himself was checking the recipes of rivals, when he discovered the above Diesel Fried Chicken. Ever the entrepreneur, this is what he opened around the corner from the Diesel Fried Chicken.
Secret Bunker - Not any more!I thought we British were good at intelligence! Perhaps this is all a fiendish plot designed in the secret bunker to confuse the enemy?
Left Right, Right Left - I'm confused by these funny road signs
It doesn't get any easier. The above could be a road sign we British are exporting to America, but Will and Guy are not sure. ¤One Way Sign? No Way?Should I laugh at all those one way signs - or cry?
Don't worry, in England we have the 'Magic Roundabout'
Show me the way to go home! Beware Moose Crossing - Surely One of the Funniest Road Signs
Batman Territory - More funny road signsNote that the arrow indicates that the Bat Cave appears to be high up. Perhaps there is a cliff near Exit 18a?
Incidentally, near Nottingham there is a place called Gotham. I once had a temporary job there and started cracking Batman and Robin jokes, the locals looked at me as thought I was mad, they pronounced it Goat Ham and could not see the Batman connection at all. Stupid Boss? Stupid Sign? Worker fired?
Follow-up That worker's next job was here:
Just when you thought you had seen it all the funny road signs
Funny Road Signs - France
I expect that most Americans believe that they invented road signs. We
British assume that it was us who invented the first road sign; however,
research reveals that the first road sign was erected on a bad bend just outside
Cannes by the Touring Club de France in 1894. Ever since then France has been putting up funny road signs. The most notorious are the 'Toutes Directions' (all directions). For total confusion these signs are often placed next to another sign offering Autre Directions (other directions). Brussels is home of the European Parliament and in true paralysis by regulation, they have not only have 'Toutes Directions' signs, but also a second sign translated into Dutch. The latest French offering looks like a man trying to extinguish a monster cigar. Officially, this funny looking sign means - 'You can launch your canoe here'.
This is what the French think of the new signs: 'Some are so obscure, they evoke nothing.' Marina Duhamel, an artist who has written a history of road signs.
