Mayhap their waiter was Australian:

Good Luck Sleeping Tonight
I saw these things in the basement of a dental client at my previous job. Click to enbiggen (if you dare).
What we have here, my friends, are a stuffed monkey and donkey both sporting human teeth. I assume that the intent was to show kids how to properly brush their teeth but these existential nightmares most likely simply scarred the children for life. And thus they are in the basement, plotting their revenge.

Too Much Of A Good Thing?
Field correspondent, JG, snapped this pic and sent it to me. No need to enbiggen this one.
He says:
I like bacon just as much as the next guy but I didn’t know this was a thing. Do you just eat it straight or does it come with sides?
In my opinion, bacon stands alone and needs no accompaniments. Except maybe a defibrillator.

Clip Proximity Ban
I saw this at a client's office when I was at my previous job.
I think what they are getting at with this sign is that they do not want paperclips going through the document feeder of the copy machine. Or maybe that isn't actually a copy machine but actually an MRI and they don't want paperclips flying around. Or maybe they're just idiots.

How Do You Know It’s Time To Go To The Bathroom? The Clock Says It’s Poo-thirty.
Another excellent submission from Lord Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. Please clicken to enbiggen.
He writes:
I'm in a government building in Jefferson City when I spotted this gem. I think I understand what they are trying to convey. I think they are suggesting that some wall-hating snowflakes may be sensitive to your perfume so now nobody can smell nice at the office. But the placement of this in the bathroom (both on the mirror, and on the door on the way out), gave the appearance that they wanted me to use some sort of trap-a-crap or poo-pourri if I were to bless the building with the bounty of my bowels. As much as I wanted to make a stink statement in protest, my breakfast burrito was not yet locked 'n loaded, and the premises were not friendly. So you get this pic instead - enjoy.

If It Looks Like A Duck...
I found this picture hiding on my desktop, which I took at a cabin we were staying at for a certain couple's wedding. Click to enbiggen.
In case you cannot read it, it says "Ashtray. A smokin' great deal." Which, in my opinion, is just weird. This is obviously an ashtray. Were the manufacturers tired of answering calls asking what their product is for? And if your product needs to have a label explaining what it is, adding a marketing tag line seems less than productive. Maybe Ford needs to make the all new "2021 Car: Gets you from here to there".

Chinese Penis Trap?
We received a shipment at work and I noticed this icon on the box. Click to enbiggen.
Now I'm certain that is supposed to indicate that two people should lift the box. But that's really not what is looks like. What it looks like to me is that Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg have decided to do a sequel to "Dick in a Box".
Update: I showed this to my coworker, Allute, and he told me that this post should have been named "Dock In A Box". And he is 100% correct.

The Military Has An Interesting Signing Bonus
Mrs. Griz sent this to me a long time ago and I just found it again. Click the picture to enbiggen.
No, this is not actually a request for women to join the exciting lifestyle of a military spouse as it first appears. I guess they are trying to hire military wives to do... something. Or maybe not. Perhaps it's actually asking for women to become part-time wives. What I'm saying is that this ad really isn't clear.

I Think That's A Protest Bus
I saw this a couple weeks ago. I don't think you need to enbiggen this one but feel free if you'd like.
You know, the right angle changes everything. Like in this example. The placement of that sign really alters the vibe this bus is trying to put out. Or perhaps the bus is tired of dealing with the little brats all day and just wants to make its feelings known.

English As A Third, Maybe Fourth, Language
I purchased a USB fan for camping. It works quite well, however this is the box in which it came. Please click the picture to enbiggen.
I really want to know how many times that was run through Google Translate before this popped out. And don't miss out on the "Moisture Proof" badge at the bottom.

Alcohol & Tobacco Machine?
I saw this on a gas station entry recently. Clicken to enbiggen if you wish.
To be clear, I agree it is important to ensure that minors are not purchasing or using these products (one has to survive more life for those privileges) but why did they stick "ATM" at the bottom of this sign. Those are two completely different concepts they are trying to convey. Or, perhaps, it is the ATM that has the concern and enforces this policy.

Preferred By Those With A Preference
I saw this near the mall on my way to work a couple weeks ago. I was lucky enough to snap a pic while stopped at a traffic light.
"We know you have a choice in mobile scrub stores and we thank you for choosing us."
They are not America's favorite uniform store. They don't claim to be America's favorite medical garb store. They don't even state they are America's favorite store to buy scrubs. But if you need that scrub store to come to you, they're the go-to people.

Know Your Clientele
I saw this sign while at a client. Click the picture to enbiggen.
Did you enbiggen? If not, yes that is indeed a sign offering free ice in a restroom. Because clearly one is thinking about the next drink while getting rid of the last one. And again, yes, it does indeed say "Located Below Slide" underneath the lede. Oddly, that does actually make sense.

Don't Just Poke The Surface
Sorry for the inconsistent posting as of late. Like has been sucking somewhat. On to the post. I found this pic in a old email and do not recall who sent it to me. Please let me know if you recognize it so I can give proper credit. You will absolutely want to click to enbiggen.
Those who know me know that I love me some bad translation and this is an awesome example. I think this came with some needle craft project. First, they use the word "poke" a LOT. The random capitalization and spacing is nice. I also really enjoy that they threw in "oh" in that last paragraph so it seems more conversational and natural.

Little Green Man
I just got back from Central America and have plenty of WTFotos from that trip but before then...
I found this at one of the local discount, off-price retailers in the kitchen section. Please click the picture to enbiggen.
This is a kitchen multitool that assists in opening a variety of lids. But what's going on down there near the legs? Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't say he was "little".

Relax. It's Just A Wet Floor.
I saw this sign (cone? standee?) while at a national fast food chain.
I'm not sure that guy in the triangle slipped. He appears to be just chillin'; kicked back and legs crossed. I thought about drawing a couch in there with a Sharpie but I have absolutely no artistic skills.

RIP, Rocky Raccoon
BeerGirl and I went to the Soulard farmers' market a while ago when we saw this sign. Click to enbiggen.
There is a lot to unpack with this sign but what I am most curious about is how many times they were asked "Hey, do you have raccoon meat?" that they were compelled to put up a sign. I guess they finally got tired of having to say "For the last time, YES." And who knew that there were so many farmers' market patrons clamoring for raccoon meat. We chose not to peruse their wares.

It's Not The Size Of Your Ticket...
I saw this sign in a local parking garage recently and something about it caught my eye. You may click the picture to enbiggen.
The wording on it is just fine but that icon in the upper right seems off. Is this place issuing poster-sized tickets? I've never seen one that takes two hands to carry. Perhaps that is the international symbol for parking ticket and I've just never seen it before. So many questions.
