Everything's bigger in Texas, and from the first moment you cross over into the Lonestar State, it's clear why. No, it's not just because they have an enormous amount of land. Everywhere you look, the houses, the trucks, the food, and even the hair is somehow over the top. So put on your ten-gallon hat or tease your hair to oblivion. There's nothing quite as enjoyable as traveling around Texas if only to see the ridiculous signs that have been posted around the state. Just one word of warning for those who aren't Texas natives: the saying that you don't mess with Texas still holds true.

Double Danger!

Signs have been used as a form of communication for thousands of years. Some are there to give readers advice - others a warning. However, the warnings on some signs in Texas are sure to crack a few laughs!

As if the threat of being killed isn't enough to keep you at bay! We can't think of anything worse than suffering and death! We suppose that sometimes going the extra mile is worthwhile to ensure that nobody touches your stuff! Best to stay away.

A Metaphysical Warning

Questions like this have made humans think about life, death, and our existence for thousands of years.

The great mystery at the end of life is one that haunts some and gives others assurance, but regardless of which side of the argument you're on, most of us would like to spend a little extra time on Earth while we can. If you're looking for the answer, it seems as though these people are willing to help you out!

Thinking Ahead

These days it's not uncommon for us to hear about lawsuits being filed left, right, and center.

Someone spills a hot drink on you? Sue! Your car gets bumped? Sue! So companies have started to take extra precautions to avoid these lengthy and costly lawsuits and stay out of trouble. This sign is a perfect example of how you can keep people safe while protecting yourself legally at the same time. Who said lawyers don't have a sense of humor?

Jail Sale Rock

When you know you're gonna be locked up for a long time, it's probably a good idea to downsize. After all, what's the point in paying for a house or apartment if you're not gonna be living there.

If you ever find yourself in the same situation, follow in this Texan's footsteps and sell all of your stuff in a jail sale before you get shut in the slammer. As he discovered post-sale, all of that cash wasn't gonna help him much anyway.
