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 unbelievable signs to make you chuckle
Charles Brightman discovered this sign while travelling through Harare, Zimbabwe. Don’t try to make sense of it. Just know that they are ‘making passion happen’.
We’re not sure who is benefitting most out of this one. Liz Lewis was travelling through Messina last year and saw this rather amusing advertisement.
I’ll give you mine if you give me yours? Josie Field found this interesting sign somewhere in Fort Nottingham, KZN.
Paul Bartho was on his way to Kalizo Lodge just outside Katima Mulilo with his wife and came upon this roadside sign, which contains both the leading cause for divorces and a solution for the loneliness that follows it.
Apparently walking over someone feels like walking on a cloud, just ask your boss. Loraine Grobbelaar was on a recent trip to Pretoria when she drove past this, err, flattering sign.
