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 signs about the environment to make you chuckle
For those who can’t see the wood for the trees, K van den Dool found this sign in Hogsback.
Meteorological technology just keeps getting better and better. Zunaid Shah spotted this sign (under the stone) at the Protea Winkler in White River.
Tree curving might not seem to damage the trees physically, but emotionally they’re never the same. Tree carving, however, does both. Rene Naegeli found this sign at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary in Serowe, Botswana.
Satish Chavda discovered this little chocolate shop in Swellendam. Imagine life without chocolate? Save the planet!
