If you need any proof that mankind is regressing as a species then, well, you probably need to pay more attention to the world. Take a look at these signs for instance, compiled by Bored Panda. They shouldn't need to exist. But they do. Why? Because humans are getting stupider, that's why. Well, either that or sign-makers are getting funnier. Perhaps it's a bit of both. Who knows. Whatever the truth of the matter, all we know is that they're pretty funny. And as long as we have our sense of humor then there is surely hope for mankind. Although Darwin might disagree.

This is a good sign. It warns off people who might want a quick suicide.

    I had that same sticker on my toilet tank because it was funny, not because we actually wanted to dive in.

    Maybe the sign should read, "Please stay away from the balcony when drunk/stoned."

    I had a woman refuse to buy an organic mattress because I couldn't guarantee that it had *never* been touched by sheets or clothing that were not also organic. Sigh.

    It's probably a sign at a hotel in a beach resort where people fish and bring back the fish to clean, fillet, and cook them. They don't want the mess or smell in the room. Not much funny about this one.

    that's for the benefit of those who might go to that post because they knew there was a phone there ... once before ... I guess they also decided it would be cheaper to create a whole lot of generic weather-proof signs for putting up on the posts of decommissioned rail station phones, instead of individualising them, and just printing the new locations on a paper poster indoors.
