Things That Are Just Funny…continued

Another year has gone by, and the collection of weird/questionable/funny things we come across continues to grow. For the first edition of “Things That Are Just Funny” click here.

I find myself, yet again, taking pictures inside bathroom stalls. (click here for a refresher) This particular bathroom stall (somewhere in Germany) had a built-in cup holder. Now, I realize that bringing your drink into the bathroom could prevent a roofies incident…but what about the flushing toilet plume? Yuck…nobody wants that in their drink!!

Sticking to “inappropriate” topics…I have no idea what to say about this next one. Found in Fiji, apparently Ass Bangles are a type of jewelry?! I don’t want to know!

If all this gross talk is making you sick, don’t worry, I know exactly where you can go to toss your lunch! Normally, I wouldn’t think much about the clever labeling of this trash can, except that we were in Siena, Italy. I wouldn’t say that sleepy Siena tops the list of Europe’s party locations, but I guess the English speakers know how to throw down…and where to throw up:

Here is a good one, which I don’t even need to translate. This coffee machine was located in a busy hotel lobby, right near the check-in desk. I mean, it couldn’t have been in a more public space. My 1st question is: did the robbery involve the coffee or the money? Next Question: why did the German hotel staff feel the need to inform us of the reasoning behind their inability to properly caffeinate their guests? Why couldn’t they just leave it at “Out of Order”?  Final question: how did anyone rob this machine without leaving considerable damage or half their hand behind?

What about this guy?! Wherever he is going…he’s gonna get there fast!!

The best for last, of course. I love this one! Found it in Freiburg, while driving to and from the barn.  Achtung means “heads up!” or “watch out!” in German.  While driving this road, I definitely watch out…not because I want to avoid the wildlife, but because I would give anything to see a wild boar half the size of my car! And then I ask: how many cars were tipped over by giant boars before the city council in Freiburg decided to put up a sign?

Achtung!
