Wisconsin Humor

posted Saturday, 10 May 2008

wisconsin humor

As we were driving on a country road near the Dells we saw a "Historical Marker" sign.  We let our eyes follow the arrow, but couldn't read the marker from the road.  So we pulled over and walked up to the fence. Never let it be said that Wisconsinites don't have a sense of humor.

See the small words at the bottom, Trinacria Hist. Society?  No such thing exists.  Apparently, Trinacria means literally triangle, check out the Sicilian Folklore.  Now I'm just a little more than curious why that word was chosen.  This sign was moved from a place in NW Wisconsin a few years ago.  Will it's next placement create a triangle?

Now that's funny! I love it :-) I'm so far behind on commenting, just trying to catch up a bit -- Love all the bird entries you've posted this week. Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day weekend. I'll probably be a bit scarce until this month comes to end -- busy, busy, busy!!! Don't forget me while I'm gone! ;-)

That is funny. They are very proud that savage battles did not occur there! I guess that is something worth noting.

Thanks for the chuckle. That reminds me of some of the goofy signs we saw while traveling through Canada years ago.

Oh how fun. What a great sign. I imagine many stop to read it and go about their day with a smile and likely a photo.

Haha! Really proud that nothing happened there I guess. Maybe you should check the next time it's moved and whether or not it does create a triangle :P

There is a sign that says the same thing (except maybe not the Trinacria bit) somewhere in Kansas. I've run across it several times (or maybe several different signs), but I don't remember where. It (or they) look like the regular state markers for points of interest.

I love it! I love that someone would take the time to make such an elaborate sign for what is basically a prank. Love it!

Lisa, I don't think I've ever contemplated saying that Wisconsinites don't have a sense of humor. Certainly not after this sign! Brilliant catch.

I would love to know if there is a plan with it. I was busy camping in the rain by Waupaca this weekend.
