From quirky restaurant marquees to witty billboards, signs have a timeless ability to offer a quick smile, guffaw, or a full-blown laugh. As we inch closer to the halfway point of 2024, let’s look back at the past week, where an assortment of hilarious signs gave us the giggles we didn’t know we needed.
Coffee Shop Comedy
Few can resist a daily dose of caffeine. However, this becomes more enticing when paired with humour, as demonstrated by a local coffee shop last Monday. Their sign read, “Decaf? You mean coffee’s pointless friend?” Needless to say, we salute those who appreciate a good coffee-flavoured joke!
Pharmacy Punsters
You may not think a pharmacy would be a depot of comedy, but this week they took the cake with this gem: “Be nice to bacteria, they’re the only culture some people have.” Perhaps laughter is the best medicine, after all.
Gym Jesters
Gyms have come a long way in motivating their members. This week, one fitness center did exactly that, bringing laugher to their clientele. “If you think lifting is dangerous, try being weak. Being weak is fatal,” read the sign. Who knew the gym would be the place for giggles?
Laundromat Laughs
Who said doing laundry has to be boring? On the door of a local laundromat, a sign read, “Lost socks seeking sole mates.” A little detergent and humor make for a fabulous combination!
Quirky Libraries
Our favourite local library used its signboard to ensure a feeling of inclusivity in a hilarious manner: “Kindles are welcome here, but they won’t get you past the ‘new book smell’!” It seems like digital readers still have a thing or two to learn from their paperback cousins.
The remaining signs discovered this past week cover a wide range of subjects from food delivery mishaps to parks with an unexpected sense of humor. They prove that laughs can pop up where we least expect them, even during seemingly mundane, everyday tasks. Remember, the world is full of humor—you just have to look around!
