Hilarious Signs Found Only In Texas

Texas Spirit​

There are many ways to welcome outsiders into the unique world of Texas. As we saw a few posts back, one of the ways is to drive friendly, aka “the Texas way.” Another is to advertise the three things your state is known for. The sign below does that.

Perfect. Once you got a beer, a gun, and some hot sauce, you’ve let your true Texan colors fly. Perhaps a 72 oz steak or some Tex-Mex tacos would be nice as well.

A Word Of Caution​

A lot of Texans love their guns. Maybe it’s the result of Texas being an old cowboy hot spot back in the day. Whatever the reason, there are many signs that will prove it to you – for example, the sign below.

We strongly advise against trespassing into any homes in Texas. The well-armed homeowners aren’t fans of thievery. After the alarm goes off, they reach for the gun and things get ugly. We don’t imagine they ask too many questions before shooting.

Any Italians In The House?​

Italy is known for making delicious foods and drinks that range from pasta to pizza to coffee. In Italy, the word “coffee” mostly means a small shot of strong espresso. Outside of Italy, however, it means something entirely different.

As you can see from the sign above, it’s basically a fancy way of saying “you paid too much for that coffee.” Although it sounds more exotic to say “latte,” they both have the same meaning. It’s good to keep that in mind when ordering one.

Spelling Fun​

English spelling can be a tricky task to master. So many of the words (mostly the words derived from French) come jam-packed with silent and unnecessary letters (“bureaucratic” we’re looking at you). The restaurant poked a little fun at that with their funny sign.

Their food is genius, not their spelling. It’s great to know where they stand – also that they can make fun of themselves too. We’re big fans of self-deprecating humor. Also, we’re big fans of delicious food.

We Know How To Talk Good​

Grammar, the difference between, "Let's eat, kids," and, "Let's eat kids." Commas can save lives. Remember, every time you make a typo, the 'errorists' win. However, if you’re making those typos to give a laugh, then you win.

El Arroyo did the latter. In good Texan spirit, the sign above manages to make fun of itself while welcoming in hungry customers. Although the days of good grammar might be gone, we hope the days of delicious tacos are still here.

Endless Options​

Although they may be picky when it comes to WHAT car you drive, when it comes to WHAT speed you drive at, the options are endless! Like the card magician asking you to “pick a card, any card,” you can pick a speed, any speed when you’re in Texas.

Sure, they may suggest keeping it within the speed limit, but it's just a friendly suggestion. If you end up going 103 down the interstate, well then “what the heck- it’s Texas”.

Size Matters​

Seeing Texas superimposed on Europe helps make us understand just how large the state is. It also gives a bit of insight as to why it has developed such a personality. If Texas was in western Europe, it would stretch over eight countries.

Imagine all the differences you’d experience when traveling through eight countries – you’d change languages, foods, music, and more. Although Texas isn’t quite as diverse as eight countries combined, it’s still filled with lots of space, people, and culture.

Hard To Disagree​

This next sign sounds like a win-win situation. You get to spend some quality time with mom while enjoying a delicious margarita. What’s not to love? As the sign itself says, the reason mom drinks probably has a lot to do with you.

ADVERTISEMENT

Raising kids is one of the hardest (and most stressful) tasks on the planet. So, there were probably plenty of days when she cracked open a beer or poured a glass of wine the moment the young ones went to sleep.

I Thought Everything Was Bigger In Texas?​

If the city of Austin were to use this slogan as their official welcome motto, then tourist numbers would go up. It provides the best of all worlds – you get to stuff your face with delicious cheese, drink it down with an ice-cold beer, and still fit into those skinny jeans.

ADVERTISEMENT

Although it’s advertised that way, we’re skeptical of how true it is. There’s only so much cheese and beer you can drink before those tight pants aren’t going to fit anymore.

Since You Asked...​

A lot of things in life (and in Texas) can cause. There’s emotional pain on the one hand then physical pain on the other. The physical stuff can range from falling off a horse to getting a cowboy boot to the face to, well, stepping on a lego.

We don’t know if it’s the most painful thing on earth, but it doesn’t feel good, that’s for sure. Anyone who has accidentally stepped on a nail or thumbtack can attest to that.
