Funny things seen written on back of vans/lorries

Here’s one, countless times I have seen a great bit of humour written into the dirt on the back of vans and lorries. Here are a few of mine –

(Written on a new black just like the ones seen on the news carrying dead serviceman away from the aircraft)

‘no dead bodies stored in this vehicle over night’

(Written upside down)

‘If you can read this dial 999’

Very old now, but it was “Forget Oxfam, feed Twiggy.

A sticker which I always hated “If you can read this, thank a teacher”. Yuck:rolleyes:

There was an aerial company where I used to live in Blackpool with a similar slogan

Martin

I worked in a large office that contained an ‘Erection Section’ – leaving its ‘members’ as the recipients of many ribald remarks.

Their leader held the title of ‘Erections Manager’.

He received many memos that enquired whether “You could manage one for me!”:rolleyes:

Quite embarrasing for his daughter, who also worked in the main office.

Seen on a urinal-
“Who is Armitage? And what is Shanking?”

On the back of an MGB owner’s pride and joy-
“I’d rather push an MG than drive a Triumph”

In a similar vein to Future Pilot’s post, there used to be (maybe still is) a scaffolding company in the Nottingham area. Their slogan?
“For the best erection”.

EDIT: After asking around, it would appear that the company in question was called Tubitt Scaffolding.

Not strictly written on the back of a dirty van/lorry but I found this amusing while waiting at some traffic lights in Aldershot back in November…

Indeed so.

Can I remind you all – once again – that this is not an adults-only site?

I do wish a few of you could get your heads around this simple fact.

We get complaints about postings that are “unsuitable for family viewing”, so to speak, and these complaints are sometimes acted upon.

Thus it was in this instance.

Thanks

I acted on a complaint from a member. The original poster had partially asterisked out the words but the meaning was clear. I PM’d KabirT to explain and he’s relaxed about it.

From observation I am not sure ‘female’ members here need much protection of their sensibilities, but we should be seen to be mindful of the youngsters

From the practical suggestion that ‘no tools left in this vehicle overnight’ all sorts of not-so-serious signs can be seen.

A local baker has a ‘no cream cakes left in this vehicle overnight’ sign on his van and I think some Jaffa Cake lorries have a similar ‘no Jaffa Cakes left in this vehicle overnight’ sign on them.

Large lorries with:

Free Airbag Test
Hit
–> HERE <–

written in the dirt on their tailgates were quite common for a while around here.

Don’t laugh – your daughter may be inside!

(Usually on an old van – with a mattress inside).

Sounds like the voice of experience!;)
