Every now and then I see avvisi<\/strong> (warning signs or notices) that make me smile. Some of these are meant to be serious, and end up sounding ridiculous. But I particularly admire those which use irony and humour to combat antisocial or criminal behaviour.<\/p>\n

Here,\u00a0for your entertainment, is a small selection:<\/p>\n

\"I<\/a><\/p>\n

Above: A super polite notice that I found in a Ligurian village: Dogs must be kept on a lead and their relative excreta must be collected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

Well … I think that just about covers all the main points!!! … a monumental ‘health and safety’ sign that we encountered in Umbria which completely blocked the pavement, forcing us to walk down the middle of the road (super safe!)<\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

On the beach (N.B. Italian beaches are plagued by immigrants trying to sell knick knacks to holiday makers): To the ‘travelling salesmen’, I’m on holiday, I don’t need anything!!! Therefore don’t break my dick! To the Gentlemen Thieves, there’s no money in my bag!!! “Let me sleep”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

To the left: Does life after death exist? Jump over the gate and find out!<\/span> On the right: Whoever enters without permission will be shot. Whoever survives will be shot again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

To the bicycle thieves: To whoever stole my bike: That which you rest upon the saddle I’ll make whither within 48 hours!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

A warning to dog owners: Oh you human who lets your dog shit in front of my garage, TREMBLE WITH FEAR! Because when I discover where you live, I’ll rent an ELEPHANT<\/span> and I’ll come and return the favour! Happy holidays!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

A generous offer to thieves: Take it and go and have a beer. And in the meantime reflect upon whether you really want to risk coming into my house.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

For the thieves: The keys are under the mat. Don’t make a mess, thank you ..<\/span><\/p>\n

\"funny<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice for the THIEVES<\/span> In the last 6 months you have been here 3 times, now I’ve got nothing left to take. Avoid breaking my doors and windows. Thanks you for your collaboration!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"FURTI<\/a><\/p>\n

Notice seen in the window of a pizzeria: Dear Messrs THIEVES, if you believe that you’ll find money or objects that could improve the quality of your life, something that we doubt, kindly try the back door … (we’re fed up with fixing the front one)<\/span><\/p>\n

Vi auguro una buona giornata cari lettori!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
