This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
Some others-- "Lawn cutting done here" think about this for a second. "Teeth fixed while you wait" "Do NOT in gateway" "Suckling ducks for Sale" "Scrubbing board outlet"
Ha ha, "teeth fixed while you wait" is funny. I used to laugh a lot at the slogan which Wrigleys used in chewing gum advert a few years ago... "When you eat, chew." - well der??
I like the one I got a shot of the other day "Non Portable Water" (uh...de tank was heavy I guess..)
Years ago we put up a sign on a tree on the way to Toco that said "Stop and Drink" a couple weeks later someone added a spray paint arrow going down to the bottom of the tree with the by line "and Pee"
But I think my fav was the nursery down in La Brea called "De Chirren Pen"
I miss the signs in Trinidad: "No Unnecessary Liming!" "Welding Done Here" (under a dentist's sign).

On a wall: It is forbidden to urinate here.
