    I love these signs in SE Asia warning people not to bring durian in public places.

      Megan, that’s hilarious!

      I hate it when I can’t take my durian out to play.

    I work in IT and I can attest to this. It’s totally true. I keep a pack of matches within arm’s reach at all times.

    I’ve taken some pictures of really funny signs throughout my travels in New Zealand. This road sign outside of Takaka in the Golden Bay is probably my favorite.
