Here is an amusing cancel on a 1899 Bolivian stamp.

Elton John wasn't around then - was he?

I have a NZ stamp featuring a photo of QEII that gives her a fine moustache. I won't be able to dig it up today but the poor dear looks 99% male because of this bit of ink.

Shame they didn't get the full cancel...

It is a real town. The town name Middelfart means central passage

I don't know if this rates as amusing, or simply inappropriate.

What I have here is Germany 1953 SG 1091 "Commemorating Prisoners of War". The postmark appears to be a juggling clown on a bike, presumably marketing a circus, or other entertainment event to occur between June (July?)/October 1953. Somehow, it just does not seem all that appropriate.

I found this one cute: using a magnifying glass to more carefully observe someone falling off of a ladder. (And I have to find a way to create sharper photos

I do believe most Kangaroo's were issued the mask during the Bomb testing in Woomera, I think it saved many roo lives.

My experiences when driving through Germany relates to following a sign post to the Krankenhaus, thinking it was a castle or notable building. and this very looooooooong street called Einbahnstrasse. Nobody coming everyone going.

I will find the advertisements from Finland about the business called Slackass..the mind boggles.

Sign on filling station totem poles reading "Gute Fahrt" caused great hilarity amongst the non german speakers in my student touring party to the Rhine/Mosel Valleys (Wine Tasting) many moons ago.

Can also remeber one of our lecturers replying "Einbahnstrasse" when asked the name of the street we were on!
