Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsIn honor of deb55: street sins (ok, signs) that make you laugh, think, go wtf? or
otherwise. Strange translations count as do other signs.
Mine first: Thickly Settled. I was driving yesterday when I saw this and laughed because I always think this is how I feel as I get older. I am thickly settling.
But gee the sign doesnt have to rub it in!

At work people were told never to leave a birthday card on my desk because Id spend so much time thinking about what I wanted to say that I didnt sign it.
They would end up just bringing me the card last and when I looked up with an OMG look, what do I do theyd say Just. Sign. It.

I know that signs like that are supposed to be understood no matter what language you speak but if I was playing Family Feud, the home addition Id never have an answer!!
Where is that?

Thickly Settled sign right next to an old cemetery.
On top of a gas station that had some kind of food service inside (I never stopped in) said;
Eat Here and Get Gas!
Both were in NH.
