Who keeps stealing the "Fucking" signs?
Yep,
Its a real place in the Germany...
Splat

Only one kind of criminal stalks the sleepy 32-house village near Salzburg on the German border - cheeky British tourists armed with a sense of humor and a screwdriver.

But the local authorities are hitting back with the signs now set in concrete, police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger is on the lookout.

"We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed," the officer said.

"It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."



"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about The Sound of Music (the 1955 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunay."

"But for the British, it's all about Fucking."

1. One of them may wind up here
http://chronator.ch/blog/kanada/custom/07.006k%20Watson%20Lake,%20Yukon,%20Sign%20Post%20Forest,%20Erinnerungstafeln%20an%20den%20Bau%20des%20Alaska%20HWYs.JPG

Signpost Forest, Watson Lake, Yukon. I left a sign there, it's amazing the size of some of them, one California road sign must have been 16' x 10'.

Sorry. This is off your Fucking topic. Back to you, splat.

10. No
You're invited to leave one. Mine was a lid from a little flat candy tin, written with a Sharpie and screwed to the post. Basically gave our names and when we were there.

Like I said, you wonder how the hell people got some of those signs there. That pic, btw, shows only a small portion of the forest.

4. Not only do the Austrians take Fucking serious
But they're particular about how ...

Bottom signs: "Fucking" and "Please, not so fast!"

Nothing wrong with a slow hand.

Regards.

12. I knew this really short dude who lived there
Some of the townsfolk used to beat him atop the head with tubas.

Upon witnessing this waste of energy one day, I said to them, "Don't crush that Fucking dwarf, hand me the pliers."

17. Pliers are verboten
Since they're used by English soccer fans to steal the Fucking signs.

11. Since this is a thread about Fucking
It'll probably get locked soon. If it doesn't, we'll know the mods actually DO read all the posts.

13. They should commercialize it and cut out the middle man. People will eat it up.
This town reminds me of this band. I don't know why. ;)
