More Of The Most Hilarious and Original Yard Signs You’ve Ever Seen

Want to keep unwanted guests out? Put this up! People will be sweating wondering if this is directed at them.

Luckily for you,  you just get to be outside and enjoy the show, and lack of visitors. Muahaha! Lonely yet?

Cutting grass can be a real pain in the neck, but these folks seem to be praying for the opposite.

Say it a little louder, and it just might work!

When you're under quarantine, the rest of your property should be out of bounds too. Makes perfect sense. This is why this mailbox is on hiatus and any notifications should be strictly put on hold until said quarantine is complete.

It's only fair really. In fact, maybe that mailman should be popping those bills into the mailbox next door.

Sometimes you just want to shout something out to the world, or at least put up a sign and tell people. Other times you don't really have much to say but sort of need to get the message out there no matter what.

We're not quite sure in which category this sign falls. One thing we are sure about, this person did exactly what they set out to do and we couldn't be happier for them.

If this was on any other political campaign, you might have the seeds of serious dictatorship on your hands. But since it's the Muppets,  we're totally fine. In fact, having Fozzie Bear, Kermit, Miss Piggy, or all of them for that matter, might be just delightful.

We're glad to get any of the gang anyway. Where do we get ours?

Here's someone who has abandoned all hope (or reality) and allowed themselves to create their own fantasy government. because why not? Darth Vader might be a good leader, sure, he'll rule with an iron fist and the force may feel a little "dark" but hey, we've seen worse.

We're sure many folks also believe that Vader should be the one true ruler of the galaxy. Where do we sign up?

Some people have ferocious rottweilers or bulldogs. Others have deadly rabbits that quietly lurk in the shrubbery, waiting for any undesirable visitors. Dare one to trespass, they might meet their fate.

Seriously, is this like some kind of Monty Python breed of rabbit? If so, that's actually a little worrying.

It's always good to research your market before you go door to door. What's even better is when people do the research for you. Now, these solicitors know that they'll be barking up the wrong tree.

Will they find it discouraging? Or perhaps they'll whip out those selling skills and rise to the challenge. Go, capitalism.

If you live near a farmhouse or a property with stables, hopefully, you would be familiar with this by now, but if not, just know it's not people leisurely lying on the grass, it's horses. Sure, folks tend to do that too.

But in this case, if you see an unidentified body lying down, chances are, it's a horse. So please, don't call the cops.

Dandelions are delightful little flowers, that should harm no one.  Though on the other hand, gusts of wind may have sent these delicate little petals flying into neighbors' noses. Their response is priceless.

When you find yourself overwhelmed by dandelions, just make it a free-for-all! We wonder how many people showed up for dandelion picking that day. Certainly not the ones who put that sign up.

Poor sign, there's something about you that just makes people want to throw things, stones specifically. It's almost like you're asking for it.

As much as it appears as you don't want stones thrown at you, trust people to do the exact opposite of what they're told.

Please avoid hanging signs on this fence at all costs. This fence is not made for signs, it merely does not have the strength for it, nor does it look good. This fence doesn't belong to you. Oh, wait? A sign is already there it seems. Lead by example then.

All jokes aside, it seems that this fence belonged to someone who kept getting swamped with signs. Guess there is no way better way to get the message across other than sticking on the fence sign.

This house-hold has had its fair-share of joggers pass that house. Unfortunately, it looks like not everyone got the original memo for the dress code. Something about those jiggling bodies offends the kids (or the parents) in that house.

Well, it looks like either the kids are going to have to avert their eyes, or those joggers might have to start covering up. This might not go down well.

The humorous photo of a sign exhibits the consequences of grammatical errors on warning signs.  While the makers of this sign most likely were trying to convey that all illegally parked cars will be fined — with a "d" — they obviously unintentionally left out this very important letter.

As for the viewers of this sign, it is a blessing in disguise. Overly concerned about getting a parking ticket? It looks like this sign could get you off scot-free! Even if it does turn out that you’ve parked illegally. Thank the gods of grammar.

It's signs like these that remind us that ultimately, people are good-natured. While this isn't exactly a funny sign, it does make us smile.

If only more people could be this way, instead of posting the signs we usually see. We would certainly see more smiles in the world.

Although this dog looks harmless, we’re sure this sign is there for a reason. Admittedly, he does looks tiny, but maybe he has a big bark and maybe an even bigger bite. Certainly looks like it.  He could be the meanest small dog in the history of canines for all we know.

Just to be safe, it’s better to ring the bell. And if you manage to get by the dog, beware of its owner. Seems like they are even scarier, the reason is coming up soon.

Another gem from the Colorado-based Indian Hills Community Center, this sign had us laughing for a while. They sure know how to keep the place alive, even in the dead of winter.

Doesn’t it sound like some typical dad joke your father would blurt out in the middle of a family dinner? Yes, it’s cheesy. But great, nonetheless.

We think everyone would love to have a portable sign like this at one point or other in their lives. Such a polite way of saying, “back-off”.

Hey, at least the person was polite enough to warn us. And if we ever run into a sign like this in real life, we will be sure to run!

We have to say we totally agree with this yard sign. At least this guy is taking it in stride and wishing well upon whoever took his anti-depressants. To be honest, they're probably very happy.

While we’re loving the dry humor, don’t people know you don’t mess with someone’s happy pills?!

Such a great pun. First of all, who was the brave soul that dared steal nothing less than a toilet from the police?! We shudder to think about how they will rid themselves of all those doughnuts and coffee!

Not only are these boys clueless, but they LITERALLY have nothing to go on! Sorry guys, it looks like you'll have to resort to the woods for a while.

This sign inspires patriotism and is exactly why America is "the best country in the nation", because not only is America a country, and not an entire continent, but it is also the best country within one country!

Bravo guys! We sincerely advise brushing up on your geography next time you're going to make such grand statements.

We all know that The United States of America has a culture of suing, and this sign looks like it lays out the series of events that will follow. This household also has a culture of not letting people into their property.

You have been warned that you may get hurt and that your defense won’t stand up in a court of law as this will be used as evidence against you!

This sign is a warning that isn’t obvious as soon as you read it but it makes you think for a second. Having a clear message is important but making people remember what you’re trying to tell them is equally important. Such is the case with this "ool sign."

This can be achieved by driving a message home. We totally agree with this sign, as the message is on point and it’s a pretty gross thing to do.

Requests like this are some of the most annoying on the internet, and this restaurant wants you to know exactly how annoying they find them.

We’re totally with you on this one!

Usually, people are afraid of being bitten by a dog, but in this case, guns seem to be relatively commonplace in this residence. Trespassers might want to think twice about that.

They say that dogs imitate their owners so beware of a dog with a gun!

This is the best use of the saying "junk in your trunk" we've ever seen.

We're delighted they decided to take the otherwise outdated "compliment" and turned it into a useful and informative garage sale sign. Why yes, we would love to put your drunk in our trunk!

Here we have another example of a "take everything my ex owned" kind of yard sale. What would one buy from a twenty-something year old?

Student loans and some video games? It doesn't sound too appealing to us, maybe that's why this woman broke up with him in the first place!

If a pirate were ever to move to a suburban neighborhood, we're guessing this the exact sign they would choose to put up.

Come election season, you're expected to put up lawn signs publically announcing your political opinions. But why be political when alcohol never loses. Well, almost never.

This has got to be one of the best practical jokes. This young neighborhood wanted everyone to know that someone's turning thirty, and this is the best way to go about it.

Apparently, when you hit thirty, you're considered an old man. Evidently, along with the aches and pains - you don't deserve a cake either!

You know times are tough when your local church puts up a message delivered by the big guy up there.

We wonder what took place in this community that instigated this sign - but we bet the residents were on their best behavior the second this sign went up.

There's nothing worse than stepping on dog poop on your own lawn. It is simply unforgivable.

When they say they're going to send their grandson to retaliate - are they talking about a little kid? Or is their grandson a grown man?! We really hope it's the former!

The best way to get someone to stop throwing cigarette butts on the ground is to blame your cat's nicotine dependency.

To make matters more dramatic, they added a photo of the junkie in question! Perhaps they were trying to trigger the culprit's empathy?

Marriage often means there are things you don't agree on - politics is usually one of those things. This family still supports the man of the house - but they want it to be clear that their political views are not aligned.

This is the ultimate way to clear your name while still showing your love.

Of all the signs we've seen up until now, this one has been the most touching. The majority of lawn signs are either people declaring their hatred towards solicitors or advertising upcoming yard sales.

Ashlea got some good news, and she wanted the whole world to know! Spread the love, girl!

If you've ever moved into an old house or apartment, you've probably wondered if the place was haunted.

Real estate agent, Jake Palmer, got sick of people asking whether the houses he's been showing are haunted - so he added a disclaimer to each and every one of the "for sale" signs. Except for the homes that were, in fact, haunted...

If you're looking to steal a sign, you may want to do a background check on your neighbors before snatching their signs. This Marine takes his lawn signs very seriously...

So, when someone stole his Romney sign, he decided to retaliate in the most fitting way possible - by writing a threat in the form of a lawn sign.

There's not much we love more than a good meme - really, so when someone turned this iconic meme into a literal Presidential lawn sign.

We'd vote for Keyboard Cat for President, we just want to know who he would choose as vice president, Snoopy?

The people having this big yard sale took the classic lyrics to "Baby Got Back," rewrote them, and then used them to promote their sale.

Truthfully, this is all we needed to convince us to make our way over to the sale, and we weren't even there. So we're guessing that this sale was a big hit...almost as big as Sir Mix-A-Lot's 2002 one-hit-wonder.

Smoking is so passé - a clean-cut lawn is where it's all at. And yet, some people inconsiderately smoke on other people's property.

A tale as old as time, so this family decided to take matters into their own hands: come near this house with a cigarette, and you'll be sorry...not to mention, soggy.

Most people put up signs advertising yard sales and cars for sale - never have we seen husbands for purchase.

We wonder what event triggered this. We're not sure we would want to buy someone else's husband if she's giving him away he probably did something awful.

When you see a "please keep off the grass sign." you're most likely standing in front of a beautifully green, freshly cut lawn.

And then, there's this...we don't mean to judge or anything, but there isn't a lot of grass to keep off of! Just saying!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's a worthwhile yard sale.

It takes a lot of confidence to indicate that the things you're selling are so high quality one might think they've made their way to a department store! Here's to celebrating second-hand treasures!

By now, everyone's familiar with the confused man meme. This yard sale brought him to life once again, confused as to why people aren't buying everything the yard sale has to offer.

We don't have an answer for you, man! We're guessing it's probably because the merchandise isn't up to par.

Do you think a batmobile was being sold at this yard sale? We are hope so.

The person that wrote this sign was pretty talented. We'll give them that! We would U-turn and drive straight to this sale just to see what Batman has to offer...

People see yard sales signs all the time, so the smart thing to do is to find a way to make yours stand out.

Using memes is a great way to make an impression - to connect with your potential customers. We're guessing everyone that came to this yard sale, came prepared to say, "take my money!"

So how exactly do you set your garage sale apart from all the others? With an original sign to lure people in, of course. These funny signs reference back to current moments in entertainment that everyone is bound to be familiar with.

Whether it's Kanye, Macklemore, Batman, or Gandalf, someone is bound to know one of these references and have a good laugh. Even if you've only got $20 in your pocket...

If there was ever a yard sale to go to - a going to jail sale is it. You know that they're selling everything they own - from clothing to jewelry.

They aren't getting rid of these things because they want to. Instead, they have to. It's a win/win situation. You're buying bargains while doing this guy a favor!

We don't understand why someone thought that advertising that their grandmother was psycho was a sure way to get people to come to their garage sale.

Maybe they know something about yard sales sign that we don't? Perhaps the fact that she's unhinged means that the prices of the stuff she's selling are very, very low?

What do you do when your boyfriend leaves you and takes the dog with him? You get rid of all of his stuff, that's precisely what you do!

Why kind of person steals someone else's dog? A monster, that's who! Sell his stuff, girl, sell it all!

Most people get in the Christmas mood by adding decorations such as lights and snowmen - but when you're tight on money, it's always nice to think outside the box.

What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by turning a "For Lease" sign into a holiday card for everyone to read as they drive by!

When this man wrote, "everything must go" - he meant everything! Including his cheating wife. This will probably be the most savage yet worthwhile yard sale you'll attend this year.

We wonder if his cheating wife and her lover came to the sale to buy back all of his belongings before moving out!

This is about as creative as it gets. It's simple, yet so on point. It's an "if you know, you know" kind of situation and for those who may not know...Mike Tyson has a slight lisp.

And though we are against poking fun at people for any sort of speech impediment, we couldn't help but giggle!

Well, if this isn't in your face - we don't know what is. We hope that apart from dentures and canes, this old man left behind some worthwhile stuff.

We've never been to an estate sale but are very interested in visiting one. So if you've gone looking for gold at an old man's house - give us some tips!

We need to know what the premise of this neighborhood feud is! Why did someone call the police on this lawn, it looks absolutely magnificent to us! Are these birds protecting this yard?

We're not sure exactly what happened, but words like "your move" are words that frighten us - we'd keep our distance.

This man is our new hero. A nice gesture for his wife turned out to be a creepy letter left for the whole neighborhood to read.

We bet the person who read the letter was more than happy to receive it. It's always nice to feel loved - even if it is by mistake. How do you think he understood a mistake had been made?

When all the other candidates suck - there's no choice but to turn to the zombies.

If you've ever seen a post-apocalyptic movie, you know that the zombies are going to take over anyway, so why not just please them by surrendering now?

There's something about Ryan Gosling and yard sales that gets people going.

Maybe it's the fact that Ryan Gosling looks like the perfect partner to go bargain hunting with - you know, the kind of guy that knows how to haggle. And even if he weren't, we'd forgive him...look at that face!

Come election time, most people become very vocal about who they are planning on voting for. Walking around your neighborhood, you'll probably see lawn signs endorsing your neighbor's preferred candidate.

This lawn sign makes it clear that this guy was not very enthusiastic about 2016's candidates. We'll hand it to them, at least they were honest!

Over the years, memes have taken over the internet. Apparently, they have taken over the yard-sale market as well. They seem even to have the power to get passersby to come to your garage sale.

You know that if the person that wrote this sign has a sense of humor, they probably also have a sense of style - which is reason enough to go scavage at their garage sale.

It's no secret that security systems are expensive - so when your budget is low, but the stakes are high, there's no choice but to get creative.

This sign is definitely a budget-friendly method of keeping thieves away, and may honestly be a more practical approach to things.

We're not going to lie, we completely understand the need for an elaborate sign like this. This sign has got it covered - unless you're selling Thin Mints, you're welcome to leave.

We wonder how many solicitors visited this house before these homeowners before they decided enough was enough and purchased this custom made sign.

Never underestimate the power of an upset woman - or a well-crafted sign...

Not only did Linnie's wife find out the names of the women he cheated on her with - she decided to take matters into her own hands by broadcasting the news on a professionally printed sign! You go, girl!

This is a pretty charming way to ask people to stay off the grass politely. Charming yet a little passive-aggressive, no doubt.

What kind of monster would ever think to step on tiny grass and wake it while it sleeps! Not us, that's for sure!

When you're sick and tired of your neighbors asking you who you're voting for - this is the sign to put up.

The fact of the matter is, you're simply not convinced any of the candidates running are worthy, and you cannot be bothered to explain why for the 50th time this week, so you found a sign that does it for you!

Landmark signs are a big tourist attraction - for some reason, people love reading that something happened precisely where they were standing 500 years ago.

Perhaps it's their way of feeling like a part of history? Imagine driving hundreds of miles just to see this sign! Totally worth it in our opinion!

Many times when people do yard sales they try to make it as if the whole thing was designed for your personal gain. But, let's face it: they are just trying to get rid of their stuff, and most of their stuff, is, well, probably rubbish.

We mean, why would they be getting rid of it otherwise? At least this sign just tells it like it is, you gotta appreciate the honesty.

Being alive for as long as we have has taught us many different lessons, one of them being that you really can NOT count on the kindness of strangers. But life can surprise you sometimes.

Even thieves can change their ways, as you can see in these two corresponding signs. All this person had to do was to ask nicely and he got his wheelbarrow back! All that was left was to thank those who returned it with yet another sign.

If we only had to say one thing about this sign and then forever hold our peace we'd say that we feel seen and validated by this sign. But how did this sign find its way into this yard?

We think this was made specifically for a pizza party. One big tell-tale sign is the pizza floatie in the back. Next time someone has a pizza party without investing us they'll get a pizza us!

It's always important to respect people's right to privacy, but when you see a sign out in the open like that, it can be hard not to lay your eyes on it. If you already have, then, not reading what it says is just impossible!

The most terrible thing is that by the time you are done reading it, you have no way of taking back your dirty did, and you are only left to live with the guilt.

Getting people to do basic things all humans should do can be harder than it seems. Closing a gate after your leave a place filled with sheep? Seems like common sense. There's only one problem: sense isn't as common as you'd like to think.

The only way to get people to behave is by promising a terrible punishment for those who don't, in this case, it's in the form of sheep causing chaos.

If you stop and take a minute to look at all of the signs you've ever seen, you'll notice they always address dog owners, but never the dogs. This brave sign maker wanted to correct this terribly unjust practice by addressing dogs and talking to them in a language that they can understand.

Sure, it doesn't make much sense, but that's only for us humans. The dogs were given a lovely message we are just not intelligent enough to understand.

Let us tell you one of humanity's most unkept secrets: we are not that smart. Most of us need to constantly be reminded of things that are completely obvious. Sometimes, even a sign that says "Don't feed the lions" or don't come near them isn't enough to keep tragedies at bay.

Occasionally, actually more often than not, stating the unmistakable, clear facts, is just the only way to go.

It's happened to all of us, no matter what faith we come from, we've all found ourselves saying the lord's name a bit too much. Especially when we're stuck in traffic and experiencing severe road rage.

But, there's a catch, according to this sign, the more you say god's name in vain, the more likely god is to get angry and well, smite you with things that we'll just make you want to say "For god's sake, why do I deserve this?"

At some point, signs that indicate that children are around have stopped being enough for crazy car drivers who just want to get home as fast as possible and don't seem to care about anything else. This person came up with the perfect solution: everyone should drive as if the whole road is riddled with bunnies.

That imagery is enough to confuse anyone into driving a bit more slowly and carefully.

Every once in a while one should take oneself out to soak in some culture and see some good art. But, those who aren't used to seeing fine art might have a hard time knowing how to behave when they finally get to gaze at it for the first time.

Our first intuition wouldn't be to climb or hang on any painting or sculpture, but we've already learned there's always gonna be someone with stupid instincts that will need such a sign, a sign that seems redundant to the rest of us.

This person only had one simple request, all he wanted was for people to stop parking in front of his garage. He tried the usual "No Parking" sign, but that just didn't work. After many failed attempts, he landed on the perfect idea.

Why ask nicely, when one can use biblical language in order to command others? If it's written like one of the ten commandments, then who knows, maybe it's the 11th one! Seriously how has no one else thought of this sooner?

When you think about it, witches do have an unfair advantage when it comes to basketball. After all, they can fly on their brooms all the way up to the hoop and shoot a basketball in a way not even the tallest person on earth could.

This is why witches should indeed be banned from playing against us humans. What actually promoted this sign, we'll never know, but we bet there's a great story behind it.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, everything turns out wrong? Well, just today, especially for you, we have a sign that affirms exactly what you've already been feeling, you have, indeed, chosen the wrong way.

Who knows, maybe you'll learn something along the way! We mean, you probably won't, so at this point, you may as well just enjoy the ride, cause it seems like there's no turning back.

We don't know if this lawn mowing business is as good as its name, but we do know they have already cracked one very important part of marketing, have an amazing, unforgettable name.

As if that wasn't good enough, they also got themselves an amazing tagline, and we really have nothing left to do but tip our hat to whoever wrote this, and maybe try and call that person, and get them to work for us.

When you live in a country that had a president who only had about three words in his vocabulary, tops, you learn you can make do with much less. Who needs words anyway?

Let's face it, even if this person were to write something different in each and every line, the gist of it would have still been, that they are selling the best stuff. And of course, for anyone who didn't get the message, the sign has hair that matches said former president.

When people think they've found happy-ever-after, they tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. Why? we are not exactly sure, it could simply be due to the fact that two can accumulate more than one.

Either way, it's indeed very sad when a couple splits, but those who live nearby might actually have a chance to loot the grave. As long as they do so before the ex-wife comes back home, of course.

Sure, nobody likes to come back home only to find out some inconsiderate maniac parked in the one place they were not supposed to. Still, violating those who trespassed, isn't that, just a little bit extreme?

Aren't there more peaceful ways to resolve such a problem? Maybe this sign is so intimidating that the person who put it up never had to follow through on what they promised.

Not all signs were created to ward or tell off, some were created purely out of love, passion, and the need to spread the truth.

This one is a prime example of the latter one. Simply put, these people wholeheartedly believe that 2007's "Michael Clayton" is vastly underrated, as they put it. With so much devotion to the cause, how can we not want to join?

We've heard it said that one must strike the iron while it's hot, as nothing draws customers in more than a relevant reference. In this case, we presume the sign was put up right after a certain Oscar incident that will be remembered forever.

What can you do? If you're offering smack-down prices, you gotta let the public know you're offering smack-down prices! Only Will himself can be aggressively enthusiastic enough to deliver the news!

Usually, come October, most of the yards in your neighborhood are going to have at least one yard sign. Maybe it's for the top spot in the government, maybe it's for a senator or representative, maybe it's for some local officials the homeowners think have their heads screwed on straight. Sometimes, however, people just want to put up some signs.

Dan Payton has the right idea here – make a sign for yourself, even if you don't want to have a spot as a lawmaker. Maybe you'll get a chuckle. Heck, you might even get a few votes. For something.

There are lots of signs out there. There are studies about the amount of advertising we get on a daily basis, and it's something like four thousand to ten thousand each day – and that might just be online! For a display to truly stand out, it has to grab the viewer's attention.

Publicly saying that your gramps has just passed and you're getting rid of all his stuff is certainly one way to do it. We can't say for certain if it's the best way, but it's certainly a way. It's not the worst tactic for spreading word-of-mouth. Remember, all press is good press.

Fabio – that's Fabio, isn't it? Yeah, we're pretty sure that's Fabio. Fabio is definitely the kind of guy that draws the eye, especially when he's shucked his shirt and is carrying a couple of fistfuls of a chain. No doubt this caught plenty of eyes while people were driving through the neighborhood, and that's the entire point.

Fabio was an icon on book covers, movies, and magazines for so long because of that impressive physique, so why not utilize him to get shoppers at your place, too? There might be a legal question or two, but most people don't care if a yard sale uses a trademarked image.

At first, you might think this is a tongue-in-cheek joke about the local constabulary napping on the job, but a “sleeping policeman” is actually another name for a speed bump. If you aren't aware of the meaning, this sign might lead to a lot of confusion, but it's actually quite a helpful warning.

Speed bumps are a big help to people who live or work in the area since they keep speeding vehicles to a minimum. You wouldn't want to run over any chickens on your way through the neighborhood, now would you?

Having a car hit your fence is obviously no fun, but having it happen over and over becomes an incredible annoyance. Those things are expensive! This fence is right next to a small local church that apparently ministers to the poor drivers of the community.

Since it became such an issue, the fence owner has put up at least four signs, including a big colorful one. However, it looks like the fences have been ignored – the left side of the picture shows us a big dent in the chain link. Read the signs, people.

This certainly isn't the kind of sign that you'll see with any regularity. How many people have horses that they'll take into town? How many towns have an area that is referred to as the "common"? And how many places combine both of those groups into one exceptionally strange place?

As you might guess, this sign is from the UK. Such classic ambiance and somewhat outdated worries are right at home in Jolly old England (or whichever zone this is from). Don't worry, you won't be seeing any of our horses on the common. We think. We're still not totally sure what that means.

Once upon a time, the blog Hyperbole and a Half was the only thing worth reading on the internet. Funny stories and hilariously bad MSPaint drawings made them worth reading and re-reading, and the image of the blog's author getting ready to “clean all the things” took off online as a hype picture – something to get people excited.

This person knew it was just colorful, energetic, and eye-catching enough to act as the perfect sign to draw people into the yard sale. Of course, anybody who has been on the internet probably thinks this picture is ancient history.

It's a good idea to follow safety signs whenever they're posted. This one seems like a particularly good one to follow, just because of the artwork. Don't go swimming or a terrible nest of sea snakes will drag you down to the depths.

Maybe this sign is also a warning – don't go swimming, or this sodden, dripping, drowned man will come and get you. He has a lot of pamphlets about how dangerous it is to swim in some places. This sign is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which means this sign might be warning you of hungry, hungry gators.

Is it a warning? Maybe it's a promise. This sign says that there are river monsters. The water beyond doesn't even look like a river – it looks more like a big lake or a sea. So why would this sign be so close to water if it isn't even a river? It's like you can't trust anybody these days.

And what would the purpose of the sign be? River monsters wanted, perhaps? We don't know about you, but we don't see a whole lot of river monsters these days. Not even in rivers. They're all retiring and getting houses upstate.

There are lots of people out there that are tired of others walking through their property. If you live in the city or the suburbs, this is usually just cutting through a yard to get home or to the store, but in the country, there can be a lot more.

People might hunt or pick food from your property, and sometimes you just don't want that. Sure, you can put up a fence, but fences can be climbed or circumvented. How about a sign that warns of bodily harm if you don't pay attention? That might just do it.

In an effort to reduce the amount of illegal and dangerous substances that are in certain parts of the country, a few signs have gone up. One of them seems to implore dealers to turn in their competition – and we're sure that they'll be let off Scot-free.

This is, of course, also a sign to notify regular dealers that there is a hotline for reporting these scoundrels and ruffians, and the little bit of humor that it uses is a good way to make it memorable for everyone who drives past. Maybe they even got some takers.

If you're like every well-minded person around the world, you're sick to death of wearing one of those stupid masks, and you will gladly avoid doing so again. Still, the masks did have one really important advantage – they made some people look a lot more attractive.

If they can't see your mouth, they can't see your snaggletooth, your coffee stains, or whatever else you have hiding under there. All you have to do is maintain eye contact, and you'll be golden. Still, if you don't wear a mask, you'll be able to breathe. The decision is yours.

Bees are an incredibly important part of our ecosystem, and they should be encouraged. They get a bad rap thanks to the whole stinging business, but here's something you might not know – if a bee has stung you, it's just resigned itself to death.

A bee's stinger is connected to a number of important organs inside its body, so if the stinger is left inside you, it will result in the bee's demise. This is a last-ditch effort and the most powerful weapon for defending the hive. Hence the sign – the bee isn't going down without a fight.

This lady encountered possibly one of the rarest signs in the world – beware of falling deer. The best part is it isn't even “watch out for live moving deers that are above you.” No, this sign is a warning that if you're unlucky and you aren't paying attention you might get hit by half-eaten bits of deer carcasses.

The woman in the picture has the correct face. Worry, confusion, surprise, and exasperation at what she suddenly has to deal with. It's pretty much the same face that anybody would have on their face when they first see this sign.

There isn't going to be any redemption here, thanks to this handy, helpful sign. A lot of people are happy to be aware of the fact that they're right near a state prison, even if they aren't happy to BE right near a state prison.

Roll up the windows, kids, and don't make eye contact. And make sure not to pick up any people that have their thumbs hanging out as they're standing by the side of the road. Maybe prisons should go back to the black-and-white striped jumpsuits, just so there's no confusion.

This sign is warning drivers that hitchhikers might be inmates that have escaped from prison, but the wording is a bit confusing. If you didn't think it through, you might think that hitchhikers are people that are trying to get away from inmates – they are escaping FROM inmates.

Hopefully, this hasn't caused any confusion. Hopefully, the people in charge of this sign noticed the mistake and issued a new version that was better worded. Sorry escapees, you're going to have to hoof it if you want to get to safety.

While it's often thought a nightmare has to do with a horse in its original etymology, it's actually from the Old English mare, a demon that torments with frightening dreams. The horse in this picture, however, is absolutely a nightmare – just look at that thing.

It looks like it's going to be in your bedroom when you wake up in the middle of the night. The sign doesn't help, either – it kind of looks like that “may” should be a “will.” The end should read “and the horse will enjoy it.” Shoo horse! Let me sleep!

Hippos seem like they're friendly, lovable creatures that you can hug and squeeze, but they're actually one of the most dangerous animals in the wild. They're incredibly fast, quite territorial, and have jaws that can easily crush melons. Plus, they come with something called a splatter zone, and that is never a fun time.

While it's probably just warning about the mud that might come flinging off a tail after a dunk, this sign looks like it's warning about something much, much worse. Something that there should absolutely be a sign warning you about.

Rocks. Should we walk and/or climb on them? Well, what does the sign say? It says not to, and that if we get hurt and try to sue we will be mocked for it. I guess that's that. Get my crampons. You have to love a sign that not only tells you exactly what is best practices but will also make fun of you for ignoring it or going against its advice.

These are usually put up after enough people have done something stupid. Enough so that the owner has decided that people should feel stupid before they get hurt.

Corn mazes are good, simple fun for people who want to enjoy the outdoors while the weather is getting colder. Add in other autumn experiences like hot apple cider, costumes, and starry nights, and you have a recipe for fun. Of course, those mazes can be complicated, and some people might get lost. Don't worry, this sign says – help is on the way.

It might be a couple of days, but there's plenty of food around you in case you get hungry. Try not to talk that much, though – unless it rains you won't have much to drink.

Don't try to break into a wolf sanctuary. Just don't do it. Not only are there the normal fears about gun owners, police, and going to jail, but you also might get mauled by dozens of wolves. Heck, this spot might be the safest place in the county if this sign is posted all the way around it. Yeah, go ahead, try to sneak in.

We bet it won't end up very well for you. Any intruder will need some body armor. Or they'll have to carry a lot of big dog treats.

We'll be honest: we don't really know what this sign is trying to warn us of. We have a few ideas, and none of them are all great. Clearly, the top part means don't make your water here – fair enough – but what about that bottom portion? Are those...eggs? Coconuts, maybe? We don't really want to think about it.

Something will happen with scissors and it will be exciting in some way. At this point, we can only guess, but each of those guesses will come with cringes and gasps of imagined pain. Maybe just avoid this place fully.

It's not too hard to figure out what this sign means, but you have to admit it's doing it in a unique way. Don't go down the slope or you might get attacked by alligators, but why have a person in a wheelchair? Our assumption is that it's because you lose control on a steep slope if you're on something with wheels.

Most of the time, however, there aren't gators at the bottom of the slope. Just make sure to keep a hand close to the brakes and you should be fine. It's either that or feed the gators.

Most cities and towns have a welcome sign, or several, like this one. This sign for the town of Chinnor has a certain ominous feeling to it. Make sure to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. Also, you'll never escape.

We assume this sign is supposed to say something like “people are so charming and the sights are so pleasant in Chinnor that you won't want to go home.” However, it makes it sound more like someone is going to trap you in their basement.

How much nonsense does a crow have to get involved in to get a sign – multiple signs! – that warns people about it? Crows can be a lot of trouble, but usually, they let people live their lives unless those people are acting the fool to the birds.

Someone must have really messed up this bird if the people who live there have to put up more than one sign that lets others know to keep an eye on the sky. They also have the crow singing what appears to be a Nickelback song. We'd love to know more.

No poop fairy? But then what keeps leaving me presents under my pillow every night? This sign has ruined our childhoods. We are inconsolable. Let us have a little bit of time here. Now that we've recovered, we have to agree with the sign. If you're walking your dog, you need to be the one to clean up after it. They don't care – they're dogs.

They'll do their business right on the living room carpet if you let them. That's why you have to have little plastic baggies with you when you're out on the town with your pooch.

Signs that cajole you into a shopping establishment often mangle the truth, but not this one, no sir. Inside is good times, memorable jokes, and tasty things to put inside your pie hole. Outside is work, taxes, noisy cars, and big dogs that probably want to eat your underpants. There's really no hard choice to make here, might as well stop in to take the edge off.

Want to have a quiet drink while you think about all the important stuff you need to do? How about a busy environment that will make you forget your worries? Somehow, this perfect place is both.

During yard and garage sale season, you want to attract buyers any way you can, short of sending the kid out to the corner with a bullhorn. One of the best ways is to make some bright signs and hang them up all over the neighborhood. How about adding the face of Inigo Montoya, played by Mandy Patinkin? There are a lot of worse things you could do.

Someone who is really creative could make a whole set of yard sale signs that have the memorable characters from “The Princess Bride.” Not going to the yard sale? Inconceivable!

If a heatwave goes on long enough, you start to look for anything that can take the temp down a few notches, even if that means getting on your knees and clasping your hands together. Sure, God might have created the seasons, the sun, the wind, and the rain, but he probably didn't make any specific heat wave for any specific reason.

It just gets hot sometimes. Have to have the bad with the good. And it probably isn't Hell unless you see a space marine running around with a shotgun, clearing the place out.

This yellow caution sign off the side of a road in Alaska says that it isn't in use, which makes us ask why it's up. There are probably some good reasons why this sign actually is up – maybe they keep it there in case they do need it, and they don't want to have to worry about sticking a sign into the frozen ground.

It gets powerful cold up there in Alaska. At least you don't have to worry about the signs that much. Is there going to be another sign telling us when the sign IS in use?

If you spend a lot of time driving around in suburbs and neighborhoods, you've probably spotted one of these signs. They're supposed to get you to slow down – you don't want to hit anybody trying to catch the light. One placed right outside of a graveyard is...perhaps a different thing to think about.

Would you want to stop and think about the horrible things that have happened, or would you want to put the pedal to the metal and get out of there as quickly as possible? If it were up to us, we'd lean toward the second option.

If you're having problems with a dog or cat that is just too rambunctious and rowdy, one thing you should think about is this genealogy-ending procedure. Getting your pets spayed or neutered is one of the things you're responsible for as an owner, and it often results in a much better situation for both you and your furry friend.

Just like the funny sign says, it often calms them down. Hey, the vet even has an app, so that you can...do the procedure at home? No, that doesn't seem correct. Maybe it's just to let you know that medication is ready.

Most of the time, dogs will do their messy business wherever they please. Step one is to house-train them so that they at least know to go outside. At that point, however, it's pretty much free rein.

A good dog owner will carry a couple of plastic baggies to store refuse in so that it doesn't taint a public park or a neighbor's lawn, but at least one owner was being deficient in this act of common courtesy – and, thus, this sign was added to a specific lawn.

Lionel pads his wallet by finding the best deals at yard and garage sales during the summer, and now he's out there telling others about some of the best places to shop. He's even modified the lyrics of one of his most famous and emotional tunes to get people to notice.

We, on the other hand, have noticed that bright, neon green is the most popular color for yard sale signs – probably because they're hard to miss even if you aren't paying that much attention. Add a picture of a soulful singer and you have a winning combination.

It seems strange that in our modern era, there are some people who just let their dogs do their business wherever they want. Common courtesy says that you should carry plastic bags to pick up after your pet, but there are some that can't even manage that much.

This sign says that if you don't have the mental bandwidth to not leave poop all over the place, then you shouldn't have a dog, you should have a cat. They like to go to the bathroom in a little box of sand that is inside your home. Not on the lawn.

You always have to spread the word about your sales, and big signs on the corners of busy roads are the classic way to do so. One thing that isn't as common is to have a picture of big bruiser Mike Tyson, whose lilting lisp is almost as famous as the ridiculous beatdowns he delivered to opponents in the ring.

You won't lose an ear if you go to this community center yard sale, and you might gain plenty of fun finds. Want to make your yard sale sign memorable? This is a quick and easy way to do it.
