I saw that shepard sign in Switzerland. It's even more ominous written in German. Plus, from the looks of the dog, it looked like they overestimated the time it would take him to get there!!!!

I dont have a pic, but there was this billboard a while back in Thibodaux, LA, that said "ROTOR ROOTER "We Make House Calls!!""

You must not stay in too many motels. That sign is pretty common, as must be, maroons who will hang clothes on anything.

That very thing was the cause of a massive flood in our university's brand new dormitory last fall.

I have seen that sign a lot. In Ottawa a few years back I had to change rooms because the person above me decided to use the sprinkler head to run their clothes line in the room. It was a large meeting of the ITU and the room above me was filled with four people who were delegates from a small thrid world nation. I think this was their first trip away from home. They also all shared the same laptop computer.

When we were at Mackinac last year, someone in a BRIDAL PARTY (maybe the Bride? I don't remember) used the sprinkler to hold their dress, with the expected result. Ouch!

One that I don't have a picture of is at Jimmy John's Sandwich place (they have a lot of great signs)... At the entrance of the hallway to the restrooms, there is a sign that says "4U2P" (say it out loud... it'll make sense).
Here are some of my other favorites:

Bob,
Those #@$@# stickers are everywhere. I actually make note of which hotels have them - of the past 12 stays in Courtyard Mariotts (9 of which in the past 9 weeks) - all have them. Who in the HELL thinks that is a good idea?!
Cheers,

I had four consultants from our Indian division come to the states once. I was picked to take them through their first assignment - the whole team - who had never been to the US before.
I got an angry call from the Residence Inn we had them at one night, at about 3:30 in the morning. The manager said if they didn't stop cooking whatever they were cooking, I'd have to come down there and find them a new place. Turns out that they really didn't know how to cook and had burned curry in oil about 9 times that night, setting off the smoke alarms and making the hotel smell something similar Commercial Road in Bangalore.
Ah, good memories...
Cheers,
-Andrew

An insurance company. Haven't you seen the ads for the insurance company that claims to have saved $xxx millions by making their clients install those stickers?

Similar problems the firs time we brought over a group of Chinese engineers. All young men in their 20's. They were completely unprepared for western life. They were used to women doing the cooking and cleaning. Lots of calls from the hotel about them. The final straw was when they had to rush one to the hospital. Seemed he ate at McDonald's three times a day for a week and went nuts with his money and would stuff himself silly with burgers. He had a killer stomach ache that actually hobled him. After that we got them an apartment and took them shopping. We also made sure that whenever a group come over their were more independant adults with them.

Saw this sign while driving through a small village in Cornwall, UK:
"Slow down for fox sake!"
"Slow down for fox sake!"
For the second time I had a possum or raccoon commit hara-kiri under my wheels at night. Both left wheels did crunches. I didn't see the critter until my lights picked up something gray with black stripes with a long tail.
I didn't stop. I also haven't checked for guts on the undercarriage.
Hope it wasn't somebody's cat.

This morning in Appleton, Wi: Squirrel runs left to right across the four lanes. Squirrel screeches to a halt and reverses narrowly missing as the SUV ahead of me gets close. Running back in the oncoming lane one it gets clipped by the car going the opposite way. In my mirror I see curving and writhing squirrel repeatedly jumping and flipping about 2 feet in the air in the lane.
I think his front legs were broken. Poor guy.

There is a grocery store near me that has a parking space reserved with a sign that says "Reserved for Expectant Mothers". One day I was walking through the lot and noticed a car in that spot that was all decorated up with 'Just Married' painted all over.
