Silly Tuesday - Men in Heaven?
Posted by Bill Jennings ((Bay Area Northern Calif), United States) on 2 June 2009 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
Men up a closed road?
Men ahead: so drive carefully???
Men needing extra directions, as they won't step out and ask for them?
...
A silly tuesday post for this week from a drive in the country.
Please post a creative explanation - I can't explain the signs.
Just made it home after a month of travel - posted a few photos from my journey to within 48 miles of the antartica circle: at nearly the longest day of the year: hence, there was 21 hours a day of sunlight...
Thank you for your patience while I was out of touch.
I do hope you followed Bob Kelly's blog (my roommate) while he is still traveling - he is now on Easter Island - and will be updating his blog for some time to come - please check it out!

Men hanging from the post?? All the men you want ....this way?? hahaha. What a funny sign. well spotted Bill!!

@Mandy Provan: Yes, perhaps - all the men you can handle - just up the road! I still don't know what the intent of the sign was... Hope some brilliant women can explain it to me.
@Karthik: glad you got a laugh out of it!
@Sarito: Thank you Sarito, I was stopped in my tracks when I saw it - while trying to understand it.

@Linerberry: thanks from the master of silliness - I guess there is silliness everywhere when it comes to tuesday?
jamesy from christchurch, New Zealand
hehehe great find Bill i can't think of a logical explanation except someone knew you were looking for a silly tuesday shot
2 Jun 2009 8:46am
@jamesy: that, perhaps, is the most rational explanation - but I don't think they knew I was coming that weekend...
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
lol I'm thinking heaven for men, danger ahead since they never ask for directions and ignore signs LOL brilliant photo!

@Lorraine: Sounds like a much more plausible explanation, Lorraine. Wouldn't that be great for us?
@Eleftheria: thank you Eleftheria - glad you enjoyed my ST post.
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Gee ... where ARE they? Do we really have to go ten miles to find them? :D
2 Jun 2009 2:00pm
@Judy: Well, at least they are trapped in the box canyon: and can't escape the hoards of woman coming up the way to chase them down!

@Onlymehdi: Thanks Mehdi
@Steve Rice: Glad you liked it Steve, I surely did.
@john4jack: Thanks Jack - yeah ST!
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Sign must have been drawn by a man with a terrible sense of direction!!! :-) Perfect ST post!
2 Jun 2009 5:21pm
@Betty: That's a good explanation - but do you know a man with a great sense of direction?
@Dawn Bayer: :)... Thanks for dropping by.
Per from Central Florida, United States
Perhaps the sign was just happy to see you?
3 Jun 2009 12:23am
@Per: That could be. It's as good an explanation as any.
Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
What a panic!! I could see some people though, climbing the pole to see what was up on top ;)
3 Jun 2009 1:56am
@Lambspun: Did you notice that as well? Men were clamoring for instruction, and climbing poles to figure out what to do next :).
LauraS from Chico, United States
Hmmm? Men are to look up and see what they are missing?
3 Jun 2009 3:07am
@LauraS: Laura, by goodness, I think you've got it. Look up, into the eyes, for the real experiences in life?
Picture Box from Fishers, United States
For a moment I thought it was a sign for men's restroom :-). Then again, looking at the road closed sign, it's kind of telling them to "ask for directions" or "go to heaven".
4 Jun 2009 2:30am
@Picture Box: That's a very good guess, but there weren't any restrooms nearby. I actually believe it may have been directions for a men's club, or some type of bachelor party, etc... It was just off the main square of Corralitos during a spring day.
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
Hahahaha there are just too many possibilities!!! (grin) Fabulous shot for Silly Tuesday!
4 Jun 2009 5:08am
@Magda: Yes, too many choices - just what a man wants :)
mats from Texas, United States
hahahaha ghoes without saying, Men are always "lost". I think it's a sign for men's restroom.
7 Jun 2009 5:45am
@mats: Yep. That's men for you - I don't think it was for a restroom, but that would be a reasonable guess.
