Bonus week! We've chosen two funny signs to spotlight, thanks to our eagle-eyed readers. Both receive Washington Post Travel section tote bags for sharing their finds with us.

Gail Boesel of Severna Park sent us the beaut at left, taken at the St. Lucia crocodile sanctuary in South Africa. "It wasn't a joke," Boesel assured us. Wheelchair users might want to add this place to their do-not-visit lists -- or at least check their brakes.

The sign at right arrived in our mailbox courtesy of Sherri Powar of the District. She stumbled across it during a January 2007 visit to Siem Reap, Cambodia, noting that it meant "No squatters." We think it's a plea by authorities to keep visitors from doing a cannonball into the toilet.
