The following is a collaboration with Signspotting, a website dedicated to weird and funny signs by Doug Lansky Somehow we're expected to navigate the road and pick up the traffic nuances - perhaps even adjust to a steering wheel on the opposite side of the car while driving on the opposite side of the road - all before the first lane change. All this is, of course, before you even throw a few wacked-out signs into the equation: the road-side traffic symbols that look more confusing than psych-test ink blots, mangled English, and the occasional screwball posting that almost stops us in our tracks (if we could just locate the brakes fast enough in that rental car!). At least the stickfigures are easy to understand, often suffering miserably so that we might stay safe. 1. Way Off Piste
2. Wheelchair vs. Alligator
How many unattended relatives, you suppose, rolled to their tragic fate before local officials were prompted to put up this sign? 3. Officers Can Get a Little Frisky
4. Messiah Crossing?
5. World's Most Uncomfortable Ski Lift
You decide: uncomfortable chairlift or ski-in/ski-out medical clinic 6. Um, No Lap Dancing? No Red Underwear?
May look like a “no lap dancing” sign, but this is actually asking women not to urinate here. Presumably topless urination is common in this part of Croatia. 7. Warning: Giant Spikes!
C’mon, jump in! It’s not like there are giant spikes in the water specially placed to spear you in the nether regions. 8. It's Raining MenLocation: Mertola, Portugal __________ If you like the funny signs above (and who doesn't?), head on over to Signspotting website for hundreds more. Or get the book, Signspotting: Absurd & Amusing Signs From Around The World and Signspotting 2 : The World's Most Absurd Signs , both compiled by Doug Lansky. |

#7: it only takes 30 seconds to look up the definition of the word groyne, and discover that it's not an incorrect spelling. A groyne is like a breakwater or a long embankment. Keeps the beach where it's supposed to be.
Apparently. I'd declair it a gender discrimination issue, I highly recomend building a case with my lawyer I. P. Freely.

Link to some site that has the song streamed: http://www.imeem.com/djessie/music/FHJ2snU0/arrogant-worms-rippy-the-gator/ (again, thanks Google)
I do not know these links, so use them with care; the second one starts playing automatically.
I think the next music trivia should be about the Arrogant Worms, by the way.
