TRANSCRIPT
Steeped as we are in the sign business, we make a serious
effort to do our jobs as perfectly as we can.
But we also get a laugh
now and then from signs that
“fail,” as well as those that
are intentionally
funny. Metro Sign and Awningwww.MetroSignandAwning.com
This one proves it’s possible to get a laugh
without using words
at all (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ROAD AFTER IT CRESTS THAT RISE?)

But some signs are funny for the self-
referential thoughts
they express. Like
this one:Metro Sign and Awning
www.MetroSignandAwning.com
Or equally well, for the
lack of thought
they express:

Some signs make much ado about nothing, like this
one:

We also enjoy the occasional “unforced error” that creeps into signage work when somebody in a key position simply fails to
pay attention.Metro Sign and Awning

Other signs elicit a quick
chuckle because
they make no sense:

Or because they appear to make no
sense:

(THIS ONE ACTUALLY MAKES PERFECT SENSE, BECAUSE TABLE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK,
IN CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, IS HOME TO A LARGE COLONY OF AFRICAN PENGUINS! SCORE
ONE FOR THE SIGN MAKERS!)
But the ones we like the
best are the ones that
highlight the importance of our work, and the need for
us to do more of it, like this
one: Metro Sign and Awningwww.MetroSignandAwning.com
