India, July 10 -- A sarcastic signboard spotted on a pothole-riddled stretch of road in Karnataka has left the internet in splits, and sparked a wave of hilariously relatable reactions.

Shared by an X user with the caption "Gems in Karnataka. Worth reading if you know Kannada," the sign, originally written in Kannada, has now gone viral in translation. It reads: Warning sign: "Some sorcerer said that there is a treasure on the road from Kaikamba to Kukke Subramanya. The state government, alerted to the search for treasure on this road, has dug large holes in the middle of the road and left them there. Move slowly."
