Wit and wisdom gleaned from oddball and haphazard signs
Signspotting 2 continues the franchise with more humorous wit and wisdom gleaned from oddball and haphazard signs around the globe. Small doses of this humor have been shown to dispel gloom, get small groups laughing, and cause good-natured head scratching. Grab a copy and keep it close---you never know when stuff this funny might make someone's day.
I do have to say that the captions prove a bit distracting and that I think most folks would rather come up with their own tag lines for these truly funny photos.
TOOOOO FUNNY!!
This would be a great gift for anyone in the hospital, recovering at home or a gift for that person "that has everything!" These signs are REAL, the photographers who spotted these signs and took the time to back up, dig out the camera, snap the picture and email it to Doug Lansky, deserve much credit!!
Doug Lansky is a great guy to put it all together, so we can sit and laugh our fool heads off!! A GREAT GIFT BOOK FOR ANYONE!!
Yeah, the picture I submitted to Doug is also in the book (shame shame!)
Seriously, this is a very funny book!!

Another Great Book
Lots of material here. I loved this book and it makes me wish I had taken more sign pictures while I was overseas. Definitely good for a laugh!
