Malcolm's Musings: Humour: Still More Wacky Signs

Port Louis, Mauritius, 1991

I'm busy scanning my slides from previous years, and am now up to 1991. I don't know how many weird signs I have recorded, but it seems enough to commence a new post.
This one, for example, was a shingle on a store in the capital of Mauritius. Perhaps I should have gone inside to find out just what they were selling. Mauritius, in case you didn't know, is far more multi-racial and multi-cultural than nearly any other country, but it does not appear to be politically correct (at least, it wasn't in 1991). We would never get away with such a sign in Australia.

St Lucia Park, Mérida, Mexico, 1992

Finland, 1993

At toll post, Puebla, Mexico, 1992

There is nothing wacky about this sign at all.

Tankavaara, Finland, 1993

I just put it in to remind you that moose don't live only in America, though in Europe they are called elk.

Aussie World, Sunshine Coast, QLD, 1993

Wangdiphodrang, Bhutan, 1994

Aussie World is a park based on a dinkum Aussie theme.

Wangdiphodrang, Bhutan, 1994

Bhutan is a Himalayan state with a Tibetan culture. This house bears two of the major religious symbols: the garuda, or birdman, and the penis, in this case ejaculating.

Sri Lanka, 1995

Not actually a sign, but a really distinctive brand. Not that the cow would appreciate it, I suppose. (Gary Larsen once draw a cartoon of something like this.)
