Cool, a signs thread also started by a Swede

It was no sign, but on a Grease ad they wrote:

Your the one I want!

Spotted the mistake?

Once when my son was young, his dad bought him this toy rifle. It was a real piece of junk too. It came with a sticker that said: "Made in America, by Americans"

*lol* SGH

Uh, and I love my HAWAII pen and my CAYMAN ISLANS keyring (presents from represantives of the coutries) and both say: Made in Taiwan.

Another funny one I just remembered is from a street sign that is here in Akron, it says : Home and Independence- a dead end.

Trespassers will be shot
Surviving trespassers will be shot again.

I got this from my dad. We live in Idaho, what can I say?

I have one of those fake chewing gum packets that, when you pull the 'gum' out, lets out a fake cockroach on your finger. On the back it says:

WARNING:

Don't joke to sickman and cowardiness.

And it has a picture of a mouth on it, with a cross over the mouth (like no-smoking signs). Next to that picture, it says 'No Entrance'.

Some signs spotted near churches:

This is the gate to Heaven. Enter ye all by this door.
This door is kept closed becausse of draught - Please use side door.

Due to increasing problems with litter louts and vandals we must ask anyone with relatives buried in the graveyard to do their best to keep them in order.

No trespassing without permission.

Jesus is coming!
No bingo on Sunday.

Dieting group will meet at 7pm at the first presbyterian church.
Please use LARGE DOUBLE door at the side entrance.

And some Swedish signs:

Do not attempt to stop with your hands.
- Found on a Swedish chain saw.

It is advisory to be two people during assembly.
- Instructions included with a Swedish flat-packed cabinet.
