So, this post has been about 18 months in the making. It started off as just a collection of funny signs in Germany, but has expanded to unbelievable/ridiculous print media throughout Europe. I actually have a bunch more, but maybe those can fill another installment of “things that are just funny”. Enjoy!

This picture is where it all started. I actually took this picture the first week we were in Freiburg and I took it out of necessity, not because I thought it was funny. There are about 4 of these signs around our apartment building, and as the owner of a very “regular” K9, I figured I better know what our limitations were.

Speaking of dog poop, here is a good one. Just in case you forgot how to pick up excrement, the French are more than willing to remind you, with step-by-step directions.

What is that dog at the top even saying?!

Now, what happens when you see this sign outside the bathroom? I mean, is there no peeing allowed at all? No peeing standing up? No peeing in the actual toilet? No peeing small marbles? What are you supposed to do? Pee in your pants while trying to figure it out, I guess.

Here is a semi-truck, somewhere on the German Autobahn. Nothing says “Wow, I feel like eating some fruit right now” like a naked girl sitting on top of said fruit. Clearly, sanitation regulations must be more relaxed in Germany!

Check out these from Oktoberfest. Sorry vegetarians, there is no mistaking what kind of sandwich you are going to get here!

And look at this one! Sorry, no kid-vomit permitted here. Ok, not a problem. Let me just ask my kid to hold back those chunks (s)he is about to blow, while I find a more suitable locale.

Drum roll…..here’s my favorite!! I saw this one on the elevator of our hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. Apparently, the decapitation risk is high if you decide to take your trash can into the elevator with you. Good to know, good to know.

Stay tuned, who knows what else we’ll find next on this crazy continent!
