The 12 Most Commonly Misinterpreted Road Signs
Road Signs can be tricky when passing at a high rate of speed. Coffee and cell phone distractions don’t help either. Here’s a handy guide to help avoid any confusion the next time you’re encountered with any of the following road or walking signs.
1.) DESIGNATED STUNT-BIKING AREA
Remember to wear a safety helmet where boobs are present.
2.) HAND STANDS PERMITTED ON MOVING VEHICLES
Look what that Teen Wolf Hooligan started…
3.) MANNEQUIN CROSSING
Usually posted within close proximity to an Old Navy outlet store.
4.) GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS AREA
No time to explain!
5.) CREEPY SINGLE GUY AREA
Roll up windows while passing.
6.) KICK DOWN DOOR BEFORE ENTERING
Nothing says ‘grand entrance’ like a good ninja-kick to the front door.
7.) BONER REST STOP
Turns out that being well-endowed has it’s drawbacks.
8.) WATCH FOR BIRDS
No stupid questions either.
9.) STOP FOR STANKY LEG
Stanky leg enforcement zone.
10.) COMPLETE HOKIE POKIE OR PAY FINE
Ok, you can stop now.
11.) SPEED LIMIT 90 MPH
I can’t drive fifty five.
12.) NOW ENTERING THE STATE OF TEXAS
Sup, GW!

That “caution” sign is the best. Obviously whoever designed it never went to a school with fire drills. You know, the ones where the teachers are always saying “No RUNNING! Or I’ll cut your little @#$%s OFF!” (I went to Catholic school.) And what’s with the portly “mannequin crossing” sign? Maybe it’s all the outdoorsy stuff we do here in Oregon, but ours are much thinner.
LikeLike
Ned, never forget this piece of life advice:
In the event of a fire, run, don’t walk. Fuck everybody else! Get out as quickly as possible, even if that means stepping on peoples’ heads and small children. Survival of the fittest, I always say.
And in Michigan, because of the extended cold season, our mannequins are a little bit ‘thicker’.
LikeLike
That’s what we’re taught in the fire academy, too. We just don’t tell the general public.
And that makes sense about the mannequins. In Southern California, I noticed the mannequin-crossing signs all look like Barbie and Ken silhouettes.

I love the boner rest stop *giggles childishly*. Here in the UK I’ve noticed they’ve started using more road signs with just words rather then pictures (I guess they’re starting to realise that pictures can be misinerpreted), but they’re including judgments in them, they say things like “Take your litter home, other people do” (Why do I need to take my litter home if other people are going to do it for me anyway?).
LikeLike
VJC, you don’t ever have to be ashamed of expressing your inner adult-child around here. Please, make your self at home. One lump or two?
Also, what? Take your liter home?! If it’s on the ground it’s there for a reason. That’s it’s home. I’m just kidding, I’m a hippie. I cry a single tear whenever I see a liter bug in action. And then I clothesline them and rub dirt in their faces. “Lesson learned, dummy!”

Adam, the next time you get pulled over for driving 90 in a 55, just tell the cop you’re a Canadian. Up here we use kilometers per hour, and 55 mph IS 90 km/h. “Oops. Looks like I was looking at the wrong numbers on the gauge, officer. My bad. That’s what you get for being a Canadian!” Works every time. *fingers crossed, pulls skirt up a bit, just in case it doesn’t work*
Hmm, not sure the skirt hike will be your best move, though. But you never know. Try it and be sure to get back to me!

Wendy, good advice. However, I don’t normally wear skirts while I’m driving because they bunch. And I have zero interest in even an hour long vacation to a place with a colder average climate than here. Fuck this place. And your place more! I do like hockey though, so thank you guys for that. Or Russia. One of the two.
Oh yeah, by the way: a couple months ago I was driving up North for a little vacay. I was moving through a 70 going almost 100mph and blew right past a Statie. I thought I was going to prison and my heart nearly exploded in my chest. I wish I knew his name so that I could send him cookies or something. Also, I have an appt. with the doc on Monday for a procedure to have the lead extracted from my foot.
I’ll keep you posted!

Pft. Cold? What gave you the idea that it was cold up here? It was only -42º a week ago. 58º inside my house. Yikes. Yeah, it’s frickin’ cold!
And lucky you! Forget the cookies, you should make that officer a casserole with your own two hands. I mean really, you must have a horse shoe hidden in some inconspicuous place on your body to have avoided that ticket/visit to the prison communal shower.
Good luck with your appointment. Definitely keep me posted on that. Lead of the foot can be really serious, as I understand it. If I ever manage to dig my way out of this snow hole, I’ll send you some flowers.

Hey, where is the shotgun required zone sign?
We have several areas in this state where shotgun racks are mandatory. It keeps the city riff-raff out and it’s not like you can’t mount your AK47 in the cab, but you gotta carry at least one shotgun – in case there is something in the ditch that requires shooting.
