Funny signs from Australia

I know, I know, I’m back from my trip, and you all are waiting for me to be done writing about Australia, but I have a couple more posts to share before I mentally return to the U S of A. This is a collection of signs we spotted on our trip that made us laugh. Warning, it contains material that may be offensive to some readers.

The Jack Schitt Story

If you are ever in Hahndorf, South Australia, I don’t recommend the leather shop, or maybe I do depending on your tastes. It’s a small, cobwebbed place on main street with a dirt floor covered by rugs and at the very way back, in a caged hovel, are two large pink bunny rabbits running around in the dirt. I swear. The shop was likely founded by German immigrants with a predilection for  sadomasichism. At the very back of the shop, hanging on the rabbit cage, was this sign: 

Hire A Hubby

I think I’ve heard about these guys in the states, but this is the van for the Aussie franchise, Hire A Hubby. Fortunately, I married an excellent handyman who cooks and gives a good back massage. Now, if only he would do the dishes…

Pickled Brain

There’s a good chance you’ll get a pickled brain if you start drinking at the Aussie bars.

Wombats!

We love the pig-like marsupial of Australia, even if it is a smelly creature. We weren’t quick enough to snap any photos of wild wombats, but I did get this sign. 

No Spitting — Please use toilets

What can I say, we had a good laugh over this sign at a garbage in the Auckland, New Zealand airport. Is this really a problem? 

Thanks for the Mammaries

I spotted this advertisement in the Sydney airport, and we wanted to go see the play based on the book (it was playing in Adelaide) but didn’t have the time. I will say that perhaps I should broaden my reading lists, because even though these are some of the “world’s most popular authors” I’ve never heard of any of them. Anyway, Australia – Thanks for the Mammaries!
