The funniest thing ever

F***ing signs now theft-proof

The Austrian town of F*cking has erected theft-proof road signs embedded in concrete blocks.

Officials acted because they were fed up with English-speaking tourists stealing them as souvenirs.

After the last 'Welcome to F*cking' sign was stolen, Mayor Siegfried Hauppl ordered brand new theft-proof road signs.

They are bolted and welded to steel posts embedded in concrete in the ground and the mayor added: "It would take all night to steal one."

F*cking always attracts a lot of attention in the summer months, with tourists driving up from nearby Salzburg to pose for pictures in front of the F*cking signs.

But Mayor Hauppl said that while the money tourists spent in the area was welcome, locals were fed up with having to replace the signs.

This is great! I love it

Ahhhhhhh.......no. However, I did not obtain the sign by illegal means....it was given to me by a friend from there who may have gotten the sign by ripping it off. I don't know for certain, but it is a good conversation piece....hehehehe
