Nice collection of road signs and other amusing signs encountered while traveling through the Latvia. For those of you that are confused, Latvia is South of Estonia and North Lithuania. Is your 9th grade geography coming back to you? Thought I would only do one post for the entire Baltic region but the signs vary by country, so you should see a Lithuanian sign post soon.
1. No friendly neighborhood around here. (Riga, Latvia)
2. No evil in your thoughts or decorous clothing allowed and we mean it! (Liepaja, Latvia- outside of Russian Orthodox Church)
3. Would be better if they showed a BMW falling (Liepaja, Latvia)
4. Why are the kids always running to school? (Jelgava, Latvia)

I have expanded this category to include really anything that gave me a chuckle while on my 3 week USA roadtrip. How you enjoy them!

Yep, Alien highway ahead (Nevada)

God is alive and happy in Tuscon

Wanna shoot some guns? (NV)

Poor Idaho, nothing to mention on their plates except potatoes? What about their mountains, lakes, people?

This burger is Paul Bunyan approved! (Idaho)

Sign, signs, they are everywhere you look…some are Holy, while others are just plan funny! I curse the fact that I missed 2 huge GOD billboards in Mississippi….it will be sad when I finally leave the Bible belt.

Who is ashamed of the gospel? on I-20 in Louisiana

Apparently, it's only 1 mile until Chunky (as in Chunky, Mississippi)

60 miles outside of El Paso

Found this in Selma, Alabama- I love JC day

Found this sign in Tombstone, AZ (Toto, we ain't in the bible belt no more!)

Funny thing happened at the Asheboro Zoo the other day, I saw some funny signs. Now I bring their humor to you.

Walk around a little more and the odd warning signs jump out at you!

- In reference to the fact that alligators do nothing in captivity, lazy gits!

- can you sign the sign behind the alligators?

- here is a better view

Anyone who knows me knows I have an unhealthy obsession with dachshunds. It started in childhood with 6 (yes, 6, my mother was a bit of a nut about them too) and continues today. My current tally is 3 (tweenie red, dapple, and chunky brown), a x-mas present from ‘guess who?’ my mother.
In saying this, I am always on the look out for a foreign doxies and much to my delight, I have seen several in the flesh and in print. So, in addition to posts about foreign locals, I am going to add a section dedicated to these adorable badger hounds called: “OMG, It’s a Wiener Dog in….”
This is perhaps my favorite sign, wiener or no wiener. I found it in Hungary on an auspicious street in a posher area of town. Not knowing Hungarian, I thought it was simply a ‘pick up your dogs mess’ sign. When luck intervened and I found a Hungarian Speaker, the sign took on an entirely new meaning……

Rough Translation: Just because you are rich and live in Budapest, doesn’t mean you don’t have to pick up your dog’s crap
Actually, the sign is major diss to people who live in Terezvaros (Terezvarosi), a very affluent neighborhood of Budapest. It was written to let them know they are not above the rest of the citizens of Buda and Pest and should pick up their dogs excrement!
I loved the sign so much, I made it it into a t-shirt. I made extras and if you would like one, they are $12 and I do paypal!

Vegas, the land of gluttony, fornication, excess, and now warning signs. Yes, this one was found in the ladies bathroom at MGM and are pretty much in every casino there. I appreciate that the big Casino bosses are concerned about my health and that of my soon to be newborn right after they have taken all my dollars and/or pesos. I guess they are just looking after their future investments, wouldn’t want their new breed of gamblers to have mental deficiencies enough where they couldn’t lay odds at the Craps tables.
