Sarcastic and Clever Signs We Can’t Stop Laughing At

The bridge sign politely warns: maximum 10 people—or, translated, maximum 3 Americans. Whether it’s a clumsy translation or a cheeky jab, the humor lands. Somewhere between safety guidelines and cultural stereotypes, this little sign reminds tourists to tread lightly—literally. Bonus: it doubles as unintentional comedy gold.

It plays off the stereotype that Americans are heavier than average, cutting the safe load down from ten to just three. Sure, it’s not exactly diplomatic, but you can’t deny it’s funny. Imagine stepping onto that bridge, counting heads, and realizing you might be over capacity before even starting.
