photo hunt : unique / funny signs
Saturday, April 26, 2008
participantsI saw this sign last summer in a small place in a tiny village in the French Alps, where we had lunch. I have posted it before but it suits the theme so well, I have to do it again! Handpainted on a wall, it sure is unique, at least in that sense, and it serves its directional purpose very well as it is easy to figure out the way downstairs, even if you don't speak/read French!

I don't read nor speak French and I have no idea what this sign means if you had not told me. Gosh. I need French lessons.
Ahaha! This is so nice. I have a lot of entries Mar. A lot.
Hehehe perfect for the theme! Happy PH :)
That's a good one for the theme Mar. Very funny and unique.
Haha Mar, Good choice. Even iof I didn't read French the meaning would be clear to me. Have a great weekend
That is funny! I don't speak french but that looks like a toilet?
Ah, Mar, those French are such jokers! LOL! :D
The figure is cute, at least the W.C I know is for toilet..Great hunt for the theme.
Oui, je parle en francais un petit peu. :)
BOnjour! And hi from Australia! Waving at you real hard, that's a good PhotoHunt entry!
From my one year of French lessons I remember how to say 'have you seen my dog' and 'cabbage'. Thank Goodness for visual aid & a french sense of humor!
That is very, very cute! I love it! Mine is just a bit devilish! LOL!
Love this one.
But I suspect the food served can be risky. LOL
Very cool! Great choice for this week's theme. I've had so much fun seeing all of the signs this week.
Happy Hunting!
Great sign! I don't speak French other than to say, my name is... so your letting us know is a good thing. Makes me wish I hadn't dropped out of French after two weeks. Happy hunting!
That's definitely a unique one.
Yep I would know where to go....
What does the words on the toilet sign means? But the drawing looks cute, so i think it must be something funny.
It seems appropriate that the eyes and mouth are yellow too, LOL!
Cute.
That's cute! When one doesn't read the language, pictures alway helps!! :)
This is a great sign Mar. Even if you don't speak French it's obvious.
Have a great weekend.
haha - well I found one that was funny too... Come check mine out. I think Europe is great for funny signs.
that's so cute! :)
Oh Yes! I do remember this sign! It IS perfect for this week!
Since I don't speak or read French, I would have appreciated this sign if I was looking for the restroom.
Even I do not read French.. the word WC is quite internationally known.. wakaka :P

I like that it's a cartoon, makes "going" more fun.
How can you not smile when you see a sign like that? :)
Very nice ! I didn't think of toilet signs, and all the others I saw were in french and lost their meaning with a translation. so I opted for other signs !
perfect for the theme! I hope I will find something! I work this morning and after we have a lunch to fest the baby of a young teacher at school! Perhaps I will find an idea in my glass of champagne!
Bonne journée!
That's a sign I would be greatful to understand. I always have to go. ;)
This is funny, ideal for the theme.
I don't speak French but I really like the sign - or should I say the painting? It's nice!
LOL - that sign is a real hoot! Great choice - and funny too!
Drop by and see my sign - it's a gas!
Happy weekend
L
Love it! When you are in a hurry, it says it all :)
hehehehe..cute ;) nice one!
Pearl - happy hunting
Thta's funny. I hope you didn't have to catch the toilet in order to use it!
LOL that's very clever! Even if you don't read french, you can understand it.
although i din know what this means.. haha.. happy hunting..
This is like Spongebob Squarepants' cousin. :)
Excellent find!!!
Mine's posted...stop by and see if you can figure it all out!!
Lol... yes, that's a sign one can appreciate!
Yes, it looks like a commode and W.C. confirms it. It's very colorful and catchy too. That's very unique.
Happy photo hunting. Mine's up too.
Oh yes, I think I would have figured this one out on my own lol!
Great choice for today's theme :)
Have a great weekend!
Clear but funny directions. Lovely!
I thinks it's a neat sign. SOmeone who made it surely had a sense of humor.
IT's always good to know where the W.C. is...
cool pic very unique! thanx for visiting mine have a nice weekend!
Thanks for visiting my 1st Photo Hunt at Small Reflections and leaving the link to your hilarious sign today. Yes … even those of us who don’t speak French understand this one ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
That's an interesting way to show the way to the toilet.
Mines up over at Flo's Place
Good direction! Unique, too!
YES! I love this! I dont speak foreign languages, but I got the message! Very funny! My hunt is up, please come and visit
Very to the point - could be understood even for a Norwegian :lol:
That is hilarious! A definite winner!!
Good sign..I can figure that one out. I remember when we were in Europe, we learned that your bathrooms are called WC's. I think that my hubby found every one of them too while we were there. When we could not find him everyone would say..Looks in the WC..smile
Sandy
nice one Mar!
perfect for the theme.
Oh this is so cute sign. Thanks for sharing..
Mine is up
Every Beat Of My Heart
A Little Bit Of Everything
What a funny sign! I didn't realize at first what the picture was, but it definitely helps when you're looking for the bathroom in a place where you don't know the language!
Great sign and someone had a great sense of humor and a lot of cartooning ability.
Yes, I need pictorial signs are good. It beats language barriers. Such signs are international :)
