Weekly Photo Challenge - Things that make you laugh

**ses5909** · Nov 30, 2007, 04:27

ParkinT made a suggestion to have a theme to things that make you laugh or "Things that make you say HUH![/url]

What are some things that gave you a good chuckle?

**ParkinT** · Nov 30, 2007, 07:29

Thanks Sara.
It seems fitting that I am the first to post today.

This sign was posted right in my neighborhood and everytime I passed this spot it made me chuckle.

My only thought is; after all the thousands of miles of sidewalk that lines the roads and avenues in America, they all stop right here!

**ParkinT** · Nov 30, 2007, 07:35

This sign once existed on the road to/from Ellicott City Maryland.
I apologize for the lower quality B&W. {This was scanned from a photograph - taken in the days before consumer Digital cameras; circa 1988} It is an old photo but my absolute favorite. This is the one that began my quest to accumulate photos of this kind.

I cannot imagine a Roadcrew working adding that [yellow] "Dead End" sign to the post and not giving it a second thought!

Great topic TParkin! Your signs are great

**ParkinT** · Nov 30, 2007, 15:07

jantheman,
That is EXACTLY the type of thing I had in mind!
I Laughed Out Loud when I saw your photo!!

**WarpNacelle** · Nov 30, 2007, 15:45

Oh my gosh! This is great! Only three photos and I'm splitting a gut.

**jantheman** · Nov 30, 2007, 19:56

Hey ParkinT, sorry I got your name the wrong way around last post - if it's any consolation you were the second name misspelling I did last night. I really should go to bed earlier!

**Datura** · Nov 30, 2007, 21:22

Oh you guys

ParkinT and jantheman this is just great. Both of you gave me a hearty laugh. Thanks.

**jantheman** · Nov 30, 2007, 21:55

Thanks Datura! You got any?

Not now. If I see something funny I will take a picture. I have nothing in storage, I just started taking pictures when Sara started these weekly threads.

Ironic and funny things of this nature do not happen that often. I am glad you had some

**jantheman** · Nov 30, 2007, 22:57

I agree it's not an easy photo topic. I took this one in Rome earlier this year and thought it was pretty funny at the time - a real juxtaposition of cultures!

Yep, that makes it so funny

**asp_funda** · Dec 1, 2007, 01:06

hehe, those are funny photos indeed!!!! ParkinT, that second photo of yours is real funny!!

**ParkinT** · Dec 1, 2007, 17:56

I am flattered by the popularity of this idea.
Here is one more from my collection. I hope this inspires you all to find/generate some "Visual Grafitti".

I have another one that says 'eat and being eaten'

**brandaggio** · Dec 4, 2007, 15:26

Used to slide through this part of Pennsylvania all the time

**akritic** · Dec 4, 2007, 15:28

Hahahaha, slide huh? That is one in a million ..

**ParkinT** · Dec 4, 2007, 15:52

Brings back memories. I love telling people that:
I Honey-mooned in Intercourse!

Thanks brandaggio!

BTW: I am serious. Just outside Intercourse is PeachBottom and VirginVille.
We stayed in "The Red Caboose Motel" during our time in Lancaster area.

**jantheman** · Dec 5, 2007, 03:08

I can't believe that is for real!! There must be some pretty interesting conversations happening in that place

Imagine being the Chief of Intercourse, or Head of Intercourse Intelligence

Or a member of the [very small] police department who, routinely, directs young people through Intercourse*!

*watching and keeping them safe during the process

**jantheman** · Dec 5, 2007, 17:56

So their job is Intercourse protection??
