Do you mind if I copy and paste those? :-)
I put this one up the gate to the ranch.I had the outline of a brahama bull's head at the top.
"Can you cross this field in 9.9 seconds? Cause I have a bull that can do it in 10."

My ex was driving me to a hospital to have serious surgery and we were speeding along (in a blizzard, no less) and saw this sign in front of a church..."Eat Fish with Jesus on Sunday"......I laughed in spite of the pain. :-)

I quite like Indian signs from years ago...
'Work more, talk less'
'No spitting'
(good for an Indian restaurant, adds enormously to the ambiance)and then there is the sign that may or may not have existed which said
'Do not throw rocks at this sign'.

Years ago - decades I guess - maybe 40 years ago, I saw a sign in the Montreal subway saying, "Absolutely No Spitting"!!! English & all!!
lol Kath
I guess the reason it seemed so astonishing was that back in those days, people DIDN'T spit!! Unfortunately, nowadays, I see "young people" spitting! I find it AWFUL.

Along those lines, I once heard of a sign that said "this sign has rough edges".
Or something like that.
Seldom.

I fear signage may be more than just a neurosis of the anglosphere.
We don't have much money for roads or bridges, not to speak of trains or public transport, but we make up for it with signs.
At the beach we have signs that will tell you the 20 or 30 things you never thought of that you are not allowed to do there.

LOL - that's funny!! I thought you were going to say 20 or 30 things to be CAREFUL of - like sharks, stingrays, sea snakes, etc!!!!
hugs, Kath
PS - DO you have to be careful of those things??

Well......there was the case of the tourists who were married here and went scuba diving the same day.
He was eaten by a shark in front of his bride.I would not be comfortable in a wetsuit......look too much like a seal.

Yikes! How awful.
Would it be safe to swim (NOT in a wetsuit) in say chest-deep water?

In the state in the US where I live, almost half of the bridges routinely fail to pass a mandatory structural inspection. Yet when one enters the state on a major highway, there is about a mile of solid signage of the traffic laws.
One is first greeted by a huge "welcome to XXXXX" sign.
Then a speed limit sign
Then exceptions to the speed limit sign
Then a sign indicating that the roads are typically slipppery when wet.
THen a sign to turn on headlights when it rains.
THen a sign to yield to emergency vehicles.
Then a sign to put on your seat belt.
THen a sign that the said structually unsound bridges will ice before the road.
Then a sign that the next rest stop is XXXX miles ahead.
Then a sign that the shoulders of the road are not for long term parking.
Then a sign that slower traffic must keep right.All that is missing is a sign saying "Drivers must keep eyes on road".
Seldom.

It's because someone in the department went to managerial school perhaps?
It's a bit like with some politicians. They are there to give us the appearance of managing things.
We have roads that have no been fixed for years, but there is very good signage telling us that something is being done.
Maybe it's due to liability law?
I heard about this Roman aquaduct in France somewhere without any signage. It was quite high, and the authorities perhaps assumed that the population could be treated as if they were adults and not be warned to keep off it.
We have a waterfall here where there is a sign which says 'Thoughtless people may throw objects from the top of the falls'.
I was watching a lovely film called "Up the Yangtzee" by a Chinese American going back to the three gorge area on cruise boats, and the life of young Chinese of various backgrounds working on this boat. The girl comes from a really poor background and getting a job on the boat is a great honour for the parents. When they meet the officer in control and see the boat, the first thing the mother says to the officer is
'Thank you for tolerating my daughter's ignorance and disobedience'.
