Fucking Tourists Keep Stealing Fucking Signs

British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village (Fucking) mad by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly named village. While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of Fucking are failing to see the funny side.



While there is some question as to how long and with what frequency signs in the Fucking village have been stolen, the local authorities have decided to set the new signs in concrete, according to police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger.

"We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed," the officer said. "It may be very amusing for the British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

Local tourist guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with Fucking. "The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunau. But for the British, it's all about Fucking."

Guesthouse manager Augustina Lindelbauer described the village's breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas. "Yet still there is this obsession with Fucking," she said. "Just this morning I had to tell an English lady that there were no Fucking postcards."

Pronounced "fooking," the little
hamlet of Fucking is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko. The sign to the right (obtained from snopes.com) carries the hilarity even further: "Bitte - nicht so schnell!" is German for "Please - not so fast!"
