Create your own Funny Street signs!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Austin, Austin Texas Real Estate 0396717

I just saw a post about "Funny signs" and remembered a really humorous site where you can create your own funny street, building, highway and other signs with your own dialogue.

Go to: http://atom.smasher.org/bar-b-q/

Currently there is a Bar-Be-Que Restaurant sign but you can scroll down and see more for your posting pleasure. I have used the sight many tomes to create funny or sarcastic signs for friends and clients and then send it to them by email. At first look it appears like you have taken a picure of a real sign and it always gets a reaction.

Try it and I guarantee you will laugh (and probably waste some time creating your own signs!

Enjoy! Now I have to get back to work!

Norma,

Thanks for your reply; the only problem with this funny site is that you can spend an hour or more making up signs, sending them to unsuspecting friends and generally wasting time.

Then again, a good laugh is never a waste of time!

I just spent two hours and had the best time sending signs to my unsuspecting friends! Thanks for the laughs!

You have to be careful with this, it is silly and addicting!

By the way, how come your name does not show up here? Hmmm...ghost in the machine?

I only tried one sign to confirm your post.  Don't want to be addicted to this too.

Latonia I know what you mean there are a lot of "addictive" things here at active rain but fortunately most of them are good!

Karen, I have wasted so much time creating signs and then emailing them to unsuspecting friends and associates who are at least briefly fooled and then they send it on to others and it just keeps going.

Enjoy!

Russell...

Thanks for the site, I love those mindless things :).  My Google toolbar spell check would have come in handy for you on the post :).  I'm a terrible spelling, guess that's why I got so excited with I discovered it.

By the way are you going to enter the contest on my group?  The Texas Real Estate group, "Beat the Heat" one?  You get to write a great Localism post and win 1000 points too...hey, hey, hey, not bad.  See you in Austin, L
