The funny things you come across
« on: March 20, 2010, 10:18:52 AM »
One of my friends on FB has put up some very funny photos of stickers and graffiti or such she's come across while out and about. It made me think about the funny things I've come across.

The funniest for me has to be the graffiti I saw while in Blackpool for a girls night out. We had quickly gone into a casino to get some change and as we were coming out I saw that someone had written on the casino wall in markerpen "Ashley S is a fat slag". My surname starts with S. All my mates and I had such a great laugh over it. It was the most random graffiti I've ever seen. (and it wasn't my mates who put it up).



What are funny things you've come across?

This is good fun!  How about this one-

Last Daze Recovery Center

It was supposed to be a 12-step-type program/meeting group in my town, but I couldn't help but laugh  ;D

I was once in a bathroom stall in Preston and someone had wrote a poem type thing on the door.  Then someone else went through with a red pen and corrected the misspelled words and poor grammar.  It was hilarious!  I guess that is what you get in a university town!

Years ago, I was driving in Houston and saw a sign for an emergency (urgent care) clinic.  They were advertising vasectomies.  With the words "EMERGENCY CLINIC" at the top of the sign, I thought it was pretty funny.

i think this may be more amusing for my partner and I, since we are mopar and muscle car fanatics, but on the M1 a few weeks back, we seen this crappy astra, and it was dirty enough for someone to write on it "Not a General Lee" , we couldnt stop laughing  ;D

I once saw some racist graffiti in London whilst riding the train from Gatwick into Victoria Station.

Someone had spraypainted:  N*ga's OUT!

And underneath someone else had painted, 'Where did he go, moron?'

This thread reminds me of a story my uncle tells of some graffiti he saw in a men's room stall in New Mexico.  It read:

Here I sit
Buns a flexin'
Givin' birth
To another Texan

Apologies to all of you Texans, but I still think that's funny. 
On s'envolera du même quai
Les yeux dans les mêmes reflets,
Pour cette vie et celle d'après
Tu seras mon unique projet.

Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai.

I'm sure whoever graffitied this was not being original, but I saw this on a bathroom stall somewhere:


God is dead - Nietzsche

and underneath it, scribbled:

Nietzsche is dead - God

ETA: Oh, I'm also an unashamed fan of those precious yet cheesy UK road signs that read "Butt's Lane" (actually seen this one in Cambridgeshire somewhere) and "Drury Lane" etc.

Love 'em!

Well I'm not sure this fits in exactly with this thread, maybe...but it's a little funny...

DH told me he got an 'offer' the other night.  Right, so his employer's office (right now - they are moving next month after about 8 years at where they are now) is down the red light district side of Leeds - more of an issue at night, than during the day.  Anyway, he had to go into the office on Thursday at 3 am for a new software release they were doing.  He tried to park in the office's car park but it was barred shut, so then he was driving slowly and circling around trying to figure out where would be best for him to park...  When one of the local girls came up to his window & asked if he would like some business.  'No.'  Then she asked if he had any smokes.  'No.'  And then she walked off.  It wasn't something he came across - 'er, um, well it found him and he had to politely decline.  :o

Other than that - sign-wise (back on topic?):

There's a sign in Leeds Hyde Park right now that was put up by the council.  Originally, it said No Parking in the Park.  It has since been modified to read No F**king in the Park.

And my favourite in the countryside not far from here:

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

- from Anthem, by Leonard Cohen (b 1934)
