i would swear, on most things holy, that i used to think that the handicapped sign on the bathroom door was telling everyone what was supposed to be done in that room.
specifically, i thought it was a crude drawing of a toilet.
and i wondered why they had to tell people what to do in there.
like any of us thought "hey! i wonder if thats the door to the carnival!"
now many alert readers (to borrow a phrase from dave barry) would ask me why i didnt wonder why that same sign was in parking lots all over the place
and i have no good answer
and no. i didnt think that they were suggesting that everyone drop trou and do their thing right in front of your local supermarket
i guess i just didnt put two and two together
they thought i was bright back in the day
little did they know....

This reminds me of that episode of Friends when Monica's little boy-toy was telling her how, when he was little, he thought "At Gunpoint" was a place (as in the news headline, "Two Tourists Were Robbed at Gunpoint") and he couldn't figure out why on EARTH people kept going there!
I always thought the deer crossing signs meant that there were flying deer around. Signs need to be more specific...
I always thought the child crossing showed kids who were being dragged to school by the parents.

So its not the door to the carnival? Shee-it...that explains all the weird looks I kept asking people in the john if they knew where the funnels cake stand was...oh, and whooping noises...
I don't think I was ever confused by signs, although I often find then funny.
you mean we are not supposed to do that in the parking lot?
That's freaking HILARIOUS!!!
That's what you get for swearing. You crack me up!
:-)
I can't say that I've had a similar experience, but it amuses me no end that you've had this one.

tony - they are. there were. i dont know why you find that strange
kate - it was. it was a silhouette of my mother.
irish - it took me a while. no kissing booth, no bobbing for apples, no dunking booth...
secret agent - maybe thats why i'm me.
mr miller - "we" is a relative term. perhaps we should have a talk.
tooth teller - thank you.
marla - if that's all i ever get for the prodigious swearing i do, i'll be ok.
pearl - thank you.
i won't even talk about those slow children playing signs.
I use to think the road work sign (the one with the stick man shoveling) looked like he was opening an umbrella. - G
