    Great idea Mark, and cool shots. I seem to have a problem with #3 because I keep seeing a word that I'm pretty sure is not there

    I believe the obscured word may be "TRUCKING"

    Here is a sign over a urinal in a Beijing, Summer Palace men's room. The Bejing government Anglicized the signs in Beijing before the Olympic Games.

    It is worded a bit awkwardly but, the advice is good...

    Signs, signs....everewhere ......signs.

    In the Frys electronics store in Roseville there is a sign over a urinal that belongs in the women's room.

    Richards Chinese sign reminds me of a situation at Champagne Creek rest area here in NZ.

    Some years back I noticed the water to wash the urinal was a bit enthusiastic and added a written sign "Pull chain but step back" ... sadly on a subsequent visit without a felt pen I notice some clever '.....' had rubbed out the advice to step back ... it is still as vigorous as ever so if going along the Cromwell Gorge and in need of relief remember this post

    I could have sworn I saw a word similar to Trucking on the van side ....

    Thank you Binnur, The Brush was a very talented sign painter who hung out with the likes of Von Dutch.

    Mark, while I do like all the photos, I'm a bit disgruntled about your choice of title...I have had all day long that d***n song bouncing around my head. Thanks. For. That.

    Re: Signs, signs....everewhere ......signs.

    I kept asking myself how I had skipped this post...it dawned on me that I was so busy with my last minute packing for my trip while watching the skies/weather condition to see whether I can fly out of here to Commieland for my flight to Oz at the time...

    Anyoldwho...the first series are all good. I love them all. The second series I like #4 and#5 for the cleaner look. Good idea on the signs theme...
