International type road signs, indications that give
their messages in.pictures not words, are becoming
more popular on this continent. It doesn't take much
of a humorous flight of fancy to read things into these
signs that may not have been their original intent.
For instance, these signs might be saying:
A. Get a Horse! E. Dry Martinis Ahead
B. Unorthodox Church F. No Red Cars Allowed
Ahead G. The Natives Aren't
C. Ban Half the Bombs Friendly
D. Gas Station Ahead, H. High Winds, Watch
Mommy Your Umbrella
I. Car Wash Ahead
For what they actually mean, see below:
A. Horses Ahead E. Steep Grade
B. Traffic Entering from F. Cattle Crossing Ahead -
Both Sides G. Two -Way Traffic
C. Traffic Entering from H• Road Work Ahead
