This one is on a door at KFC in Manila Philippines. I told them that in Canada, milk is usually served cold, in a cup, but this sounds like a nice service.

This prompted an unnecessary explanation. So I asked how they were fed as babies. "The same way." Were there separate rooms? "No, just a little blanket." "But now we have, for public decency." Were your mothers indecent? "No, KFC is just worried about image.  We store extra supplies in there."

I didn't have my phone with me, when I saw the sign in the bathroom, at a tourist attraction overlooking the city of Cebu Philippines.

It said..... Please do not poop in this toilet. Pee only
.......
In Canada along a trail that saw many joggers there was very unofficial looking handwritten sign, warning of the danger of getting caught on rebar projecting from some very old concrete lining the trail. I came back with a small sledgehammer and bent all of the rebar flat. It was a really nice-looking sign that must have taken some time. The hammer thing took 2 minutes.

I was in Portland and thought about stopping in to eat here, but I couldn't figure out what they might have on the menu...

From a local bar; that sign is on the rail overlooking the lake. Sadly, the bar closed on 8/31.

This sign unfortunately only lasted a couple of years, probably until the council got bored of everyone mocking it, but I managed to get a photo or 3 before it vanished.
It stood on a road leading to the carpark it meant no parking on the access road, but that's not what it said! As a little aside the house it is up against was built in 1450.

The Thunderbird is part of Native North American mythology. A powerful creature who is generally given the top position on a totem pole, because it can protect the village. They are also depicted in paintings, on textiles textiles and other art forms.

Starting in 1955, a Thunderbird was also a car.

According to this last photo, it's also a dead chicken😐

Canadian sign spotted: "We reserve the right to arm bears."
