They try their best to help the gringos understand the meaning of their signs. I have a bunch that I will start to post.

#13 | I used to collect funny signs from National Lampoon and scanned them and made a screen saver out of the best ones.
This is just one I have on my pc that isn't from NL. You can delete it, Candy, if you think it might offend anybody. I don't mind.

#14 | Thanks monkeymoon, I think, under the circumstances, that shouldn't be offensive to anyone. I'm going to leave it. If anyone reports it, then we'll deal with it accordingly.
Thanks for the contribution  |  | Distinguished Member with 5,965 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Hot, California Experience: Advanced |

#15 | I was in Santa Cruz, CA this past week on vacation. WHile walking along the pier, I spotted a sign that said "No Crabbing or Fishing"........I put my son on one side of the sign and my daughter in front of the "or Fishing"........Now it is a picture of my kids in front of a sign that says "No Crabbing".......That picture is going to be blown up and placed on the refrigerator
