It’s amazing how many people go to considerable lengths to tell other people wacky things on boards – and often get the message so delightfully wrong doing it. Hundreds of these memorable signs have been spotted, photographed, and sent in by Getaway readers as they journey through these hilarious, poignant, silly, ridiculous and often bewildering signs.
Getaway magazine looks back over the twenty-odd years of publishing to bring you this Best of Getaway Funny Signs collection. This definitely doesn’t mean that these funny signs have all been seen before. In recent years travel has become easier and more and more Getaway readers have explored an ever-increasing footprint across the planet, meaning the repertoire of funny signs pictures have grown to include some never-seen-before corkers.
Here is a selection of children signs to make you chuckle
Lynn Dan found this horrifying sign while visiting Haga Haga. At least we can take solace in the fact that the children were still able to enjoy themselves.
This gives new meaning to school transport, says Kevin Tarr. Taken in Mida Creek at Watamu, Kenya.
Shopping for kids in Malawi? This ‘store’ has a maximum exposure position on the road between Monkey Bay and Cape Maclear at the southern end of Lake Malawi. Sent in by Lucy Bale.
Sharon Wicks was worried that there might not be enough air holes and fodder troughs in this human horse box. After a quick investigation, she found the kids from Woodbridge School in the Eastern Cape all safely in the vehicle towing it.
Karen Larsen and her family spotted this sign at ‘Die Koffiepot’ on the way to the Golden Gate National Park outside Clarens. There was nothing mentioned regarding the tenderness or taste of the children.
