Nothing's more frustrating than seeing a traffic sign and not knowing what in the world it's supposed to mean. So here's your chance to make your own explanations! [Note: Search Google for "traffic signs" to see plenty of sites with images of trafffic signs. Here's (http://members.aol.com/rcmoeur/signman.html) one.]

I'll start:

There's one on the next block from me that says:

Deaf
CAUTION
Children

But I guess it's supposed to be read "Caution, deaf children"

It always makes me chuckle.

Yeah, those kind of signs are weird which have a text in the middle but aren't supposed to be read in the order they are written in....

I'm always fond of the one that tells me about the Slow Children Playing... why would they tell you about them? Why don't they tell me about the quick children playing?

It's not a sign, but I've always been fond of the bumper sticker that offends EVERYONE: "Nuke The Unborn Gay Baby Whales for Jesus"

I'm not really sure, of course, I'm not sure what the sign is suppose to mean either. "Handicapped people be careful to keep control of wheelchairs, because you might roll into a alligator infested pond?"
