"An apple a day keeps anyone away if you throw it hard enough," said no doctor ever. But someone did think it and was brave enough to share their thoughts on a sign that was put up and then photographed for all the world to see.

There was once a boring time on earth when signage served the sole purpose of providing directions or information. Nowadays, they've evolved to become a form of entertainment - if even unintentionally. Some are so hilarious, they might have you forgetting where you were heading in the first place. I was driving in an area with a fair amount of wildlife the other day when I passed a sign that read, "For fox sake, slow down." Needless to say, I didn't just slow down. I stopped on the side of the road, reversed and quickly took a photo.

Lots of people, just like me, can't get enough of funny and strange signs. Many can be found gathered in a corner of the internet aptly called, you guessed it: Funny and Strange Signs. The page is a laugh-a-scroll, and Bored Panda has put together a list of the best posts for you to journey through while you wait for a sign to stop procrastinating.

    My partner saw a BMW using a turn signal last night, and the headlight blinked off and on with it. I have never seen this, but suggested that perhaps all BMWs do that, and this is just the first time a BMW driver used their indicators....

    I wish I'd thought of this back when I was trying to build our business website and kept getting interrupted by our machinists wandering into my office because they were bored waiting for a process to complete. A sign like this might have discouraged enough of them to let me get at least SOME work done!

    Looking at 'Cows' and 'Slowly', I'm going to be charitable and say that there's an outside chance that word should have read 'Coins' instead of 'Cows'.

    I would have such a hard time not correcting this with a red pen, sticking it in an envelope with, "fixed it" written on the outside, and sticking it to this person's front door. I have a decent sense of caution in most situations, but poking this bear might just be too tempting.
