Yup, they use Wikipedia and Google more than Cats do!
I’ve even seen a picture of dogs sitting around a table playing poker! No telling what they do when you’re at work or school!
These signs are actually required by law in certain states in the US – I know Arizona is one of them. The reason is that the water is non-potable, meaning it comes from a different source than faucet water and it’s not clean enough for drinking. Not that anyone would drink it out of the toilet anyway.
No, they’re not required by law. We have this pain-in-the-ass thing where we have to limit dust at our construction sites by spraying water on the dirt and those containers require a “Non-Potable Water” sign on them. But I assure you, I have never tried to drink out of the spout of a moving truck, much less a toilet.
No, I think the Frisco ones are either pink, black, or rainbow fur. Canadian toilets are made of sections of moss-covered old growth forest tree stumps (after a clear cut).
I thought they were still around.
On trips to the US as a kid, I discovered Kix. I loved that cereal. And Life Brand cereal too. I ate lots of junky cereals too, though (Cap’n Crunch being the only breakfast cereal that I’ve seen turn milk visibly oily). I wonder– what other junky cereals did the rest of you eat in your childhood?
Corn Pops, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, Sugar Smacks, Fruit Loops, Honeycomb, Capt. Crunch, Franken Berry, Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles, and Trix. That’s the sugary ones. I also liked ones that were good for you, like Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Spoon sized Shredded Wheat, Team Flakes, Cheerios, Rice Crispies, Life, Raisin Bran, and Total.
…..What, too much info? Sorry, kannadzuki wanted to know!
Nah, not TMI. Just nostalgic.
I also enjoyed most of those sugary cereals, and Rice Crispies, Shreddies, Shredded Wheat and “Muffets.” Nowadays, the only breakfast cereals I eat are either oatmeal or the granola I add to my probiotic yogurt!
My favorites were always a tie between the ones on the market that contained the most sugar — Apple Jacks, Fruity Pebbles, and Froot Loops. These days, I eat the Froot Loops with the tiny marshmallows in them

Someone educated enough to read and understand that there is water in the tank above the bowl and extremely thirsty. Or it was put there by the toilet owner in litigation happy California.
Good thing you specified there… Some people sill don’t know that aliens don’t use sinks. Like… Michael Jackson for example never washes his hands. He makes little kids lick them clean.
Hey, here in Japan, the sinks and bathtubs are in a separate room from the toilet in each person’s home. Many toilets half little open-ended pipes that allow you to use the clean water headed for the toilet’s tank (when you flush), though.
Probably the same water source anyway so also not potable. There’s a good chance the water in the tap is only boiling hot too (a curious phenomena of skanky public toilets) or nonexistent anyway. Maybe it’s one of those cheapskate campsites where they turn off the water to the sink so you can only wash your hands by inserting a quarter in to the shower.
everyone knows dogs speak korean. hence the sign is obviously for monkeys (and rhinos in winter, they shrink and can fit in small spaces in the cold) Duh!
Maybe it wasn’t a nesting FAIL — maybe BFF found out that Rachel is actually Dogman in disguise! Dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna dunna DOGMAN! DOGMAN!
If you live in disaster prone areas (where things like tornadoes, earthquakes, code pink, and so on are present dangers) people are taught that the water in the tank (not the bowl) is safe to drink and not contaminated.
But if the water supply to the tank is not the same as to the sinks and such, the sign makes perfect sense.
I find it interesting that you put “an LOL”. It seems that you intend it to be read “an L-O-L” rather than “laugh out loud”. It seems that the acronym LOL has broken free from its original significance, to become a “word” in its own right. I could go on about this linguistic oddity and its ramifications concerning the evolution of the English language and the internet… but I digress.
Neither, actually. Ponies really would be difficult to house in my one bedroom apartment. And while I have some small aptitude for cross stitch, it does not extend to tatting lace.
Just trying to talk is all. Nothing implied. It seems to be a slow day here at FailBlog, everyone must be busy. Saturdays can be like that here I guess.
It really is. No Dragon, no Admiral for a while, no Skwerlly, no raelalt, no Arthur, it is abysmal. Are you having a short break? I hope I’m not being rude by implying there’s no-one here except me.
Ah well, at least you’re here, Avis.
Dragon is, I think, out of town. The Admiral tends not not comment as much when she’s not here. As for the rest I have no idea. Here in the States it’s about dinner time, so that might account for some folks.
*pouts* Maybe they all have dates.
I think I just asked my computer to do too many things at once. It gave me the stupid spinning beach ball thing. All I did was attempt to play some music AND refresh a FailBlog page!
I’m trying to figure out if the music I’m listening to now has a theramin. Jean Michel Jarre’s “Equinoxe” for anyone that might know. It certainly sonds like it.
Same here, but I didn’t listen to that music until I was in my 20′s really. For about a year or so in the very very late 80′s I listened to the radio. Then my best friend killed it by playing NKTOB for me and I wanted to go deaf.
My friend missed the very first day of high school to see them in concert. In ’89. I couldn’t believe it. I was actually GLAD to be in school that day!
Her mother not only let her do it, but drove her to the concert!!
*sigh* I must have been a goody-goody, I never skipped school. Of course, if I had, I’d have been caught. My parents were… sheltering.
I’ve never “skipped” per se, but I have been absent with permission a number of times because of my involvement in the school play and band.
Sweet dreams, Jam.
Nope, Im pretty sure that is not a theramin. It’s a synthesizer with some vibrato that is emulating one. Although it’s not really a big difference. A theramin IS a synthesizer, it just has a weird way of controlling the pitch, so a synthesizer with a keyboard is really almost the same thing. Im pretty sure that if it was an actual theramin it would be doing some much more interesting (CREEPY!) stuff cause using it in such a controlled way would be a lot of work to just have it sound like a normal synth.
Every school I went to was a (very) small private school. If I so much as was late to class they called my folks. To this day, I make it a point to be early, wherever I am going.
The theremin is on Jarre’s ‘Oxygène part III’. There is a DVD with an integral performance of Oxygène where you can see him play it.(Rather badly I might add.)
I’ll have to look that up, The album I have is something an uncle made a copy of for me when I was 16. I killed the tape, I listened to it so much. I have not heard the Oxygene album. I like one, so it stands to reason I might like the other.
The theremin-like thingy in Equinoxe is at the end of Equinoxe IV.
It’s probably not a real theremin though. It’s the same instrument that is used in Oxygene.
Well, hey, let’s not jump to conclusions. What if the restaurant had hired a mentally unstable person, was telling him to not drink the items in the toilet, and misspelled “waiter”? As in, “CAUTION: Do not drink this, waiter.”
Very simple – the john uses non-potable water (probably from a waste treatment plant). In So Calif, you learn that if an earthquake hits and the water main has broken, if you desperately need water you can use that from the tank. Hence…
What the heck! This comment works, but not the one on “Classical Fail?!” Gah!
Well, Avis, Mr. Cuddles, WhoaNellie, and Arthur Eld: these are for you, from “Classical Fail”:
.
Avis:
• To support that statement, I’m assuming you’ve seen all of my comments from every post I’ve commented on from every ICHC site I use. And, since you are clearly the Goddess of Funny, who says what’s funny and not, none of my comments are funny. Praise Avis, the Goddess of Funny!
• Since you’ve seen all of my comments, you’ve also seen that not only are they not funny, they are “[n]othing but complaints.” Not like this is a blog, and not like I have the right to complain when I want to (which is, apparently, every time). Nooooo.
• The very same “very sad existence” that compels you, and others like you, to comment about 20 times on every post, many of which don’t deserve even one? The very same “very sad existence” that inspires such inspiring words of wisdom and genius as “The whole [urinal cake] even,” “I don’t think the possibility of being a uni-baller bothers him all that much,” “*blanches*,” “*has seven tats* Not that that has anything to do with anything,” “Noop,” and “CHRISTOPHER!!!! *SMOOCHES!!!!*” The very same “very sad existence” that makes you think, “Hm, since I’m the Goddess of Funny, and this mortal’s comment was not funny, I’m going to derive pleasure from insulting him, because that’s the kind of ‘jeans and t-shirt kinda girl’ I am.” That very same very sad existence?
You, my “pettite” Goddess, are dead wrong.
.
Mr. Cuddles:
• No, I’m not jealous and upset that my bottom was never tufted by the piano teacher I never had, maybe because I don’t play piano, rendering you entire comment invalid. Sorry to burst your perverse-fantasy bubble like that.
• *sigh* Simply put, you’ve never met me, I’ve never met you. That’s how the Internet works. Lastly, no one has ever commented on my gait (lookitup), which I cherish. Did you learn something today? Yesh you did! *cheek squeeze*
.
WhoaNellie:
• DO NOT tell me to show my work again. My algebra teacher already pissed me off too many times with that.
• It wasn’t, to your dismay.
• Years end.
• I’m not poor.
• I’m “Wyde” because my first username here was “Ope N. Wyde,” patent pending. But, since that got old, I shortened it to “Wyde.” Why don’t you ask me how fingers fing while you’re at it?
.
Arthur Eld:
My… artwork? Why don’t you track down and show me this artwork I seemingly forgot I had somehow posted to -specifically- FB, let alone any ICHC site. It’ll be like an adventure! Sans the fun!
.
.
I await your rebuttals.
Me too?
I’m here for the laughs my friend. I come in peace. I’d never deliberately upset/annoy/irritate* anyone.
This ^^ is my humour. It’s not to everyone’s taste but there it is.
It’s only banter! You can’t really take anything on a site called FAILBLOG seriously.
• And quoting a fictional, maniacal serial killer IS mature?
• I know you answered me. And, as explained above, this comment is supposed to be the reply to that reply, since I couldn’t reply on “Classical Fail.”
• I know how to get to it, I just couldn’t comment anymore on it.
Wyde, sweets, this is a humo(u)r site. We come here to have fun. When you step all over that fun, we let you know it. I never said I was the Goddess of Funny, you did. I was trying to point out, some time ago, that when you complain to us about the pictures posted it doesn’t get to the folks you want it to. It does sort of, kind of, but not really. If you are unhappy with the pictures posted you need to go to the “contact us” link and tell the people who RUN the site. By using the comments section to complain that you don’t like the picture or don’t think it’s funny, you’re really only telling the people who VISIT the site.
Just look for my post on “Classical Fail,” towards the middle of the page. The aforementioned users replied to my comment, and I was unable to reply to theirs.
I’m starting to call you “the other JasonK” in my head.
Seriously, why do you feel you need to rant in a compassionate speech here? No one really wants that kind of anger blown in their face, especially Avis.
Really? They don’t like that kind of anger blown in their face? Maybe if they didn’t reply in a way that was guaranteed to receive some, they wouldn’t. Makes you think.
P.S. “Rant in a compassionate speech?”
people think dogs can read human languages? what is the world coming to? besides, if the dog was THAT smart, he or she’d know not to drink from the toilet anyway! (lolz)
first?
to drink potty water?
Its for the dogs
This remembers me Borat
Did you just call Mattr Borat?
That was her? Hey, why did you hang up when I answered the phone, Malegria?
He was calling to warn you about the water. We can only pray he wasn’t too late…
So what’s wrong with drinking this water?
It’s full of cat’shit.
It is not a water’fountain.
Hmm. Missing a fail there, Cloral?
Warning, the water is chlorinated.
fail.
Oh, yeah. lol.
Mexico water > Your mothers drinking water……maybe this sign was intended for her!
If only dogs could read…
They’d be smarter than

dogs, I suppose.
Smarter than illiterate people?
… Dean Koontz would sell a lot more books.
Trixie could read. She was so special.
Win!
Meh. If my dog could read, she’d just ignore the sign.
…we wouldn’t be able to read your comments?
Your face wouldn’t be able to read the comments.

If they didn’t want you to eat it then why would they call it a “cake”?!
The cake is a lie.

No, he was right to be cautious. Bold firsters aren’t treated kindly in these parts. But since he was slightly hesitant, he will be let off.

A message for all the dogs out there
dogs can’t read moron.
Dogs are on the internets. How can dogs be on the internets if they can’t read?
That’s right! But can they read English is another question…
i highly doubt that dogs have the capability to work a computer either.
Bullsh!t!!

They’re smart creatures!
Dogs CAN look up.
Yup, they use Wikipedia and Google more than Cats do!

Yeah, goddamn Europeans! Oh, wait…
fail… toilets don’t look anything like that in europe. this definitely looks north american to me…
you’re very toilet savvy
oh you just have no idea…
*blushing*
*flushing*?
*crushing*?
I don’t remember the last time I saw a toilet with a black seat in the US but you see them all the time in the UK.
We have black seats all over the place here. We need them to hide the poo that we unhygienic Americans get all over the seat.
if your poop is black, GO SEE A DOCTOR!
and the handle or knob to flush is totally not european…
when I lived in CA, they were everywhere…
Europeeins?
We only have pink seats with fur here in the US. Sometimes you’ll see a glow-in-the-dark seat, but most are pink and furry.
That pink fur’s only from all the bacteria growing on the seat. I don’t even want to tell you about the glow in the dark ones.
…and the pink furry seats are found, in abundance, in none other than sunny and rainbow laden San Francisco.
No, I think the Frisco ones are either pink, black, or rainbow fur. Canadian toilets are made of sections of moss-covered old growth forest tree stumps (after a clear cut).
FIRST !!!!
Either your browser is really slow, or you are being annoying. I’m going with the latter.
both
‘Tis not the browser that’s the slow one…
HA! I second on that notion…
No, it’s both!
Almost likely…

#2 Who would you be talking to once inside them?
#3 Why the just third one? Did the other 2 stop you?
SB, I suspect there are many FB ladies about who can take you by the hand and show you the ropes.
Niiiiiiiice.
Because Cloral enjoys talking in the third person.
The sign isn’t fail. The people who were drinking the water before the sign was put there are fail.
but it’s so tasty
You can sample what the restaurant is serving without having to pay for it!
yes, but for some reason, in the bathroom, no matter what people ordered there are peanuts added to everything???
I drink whatever i want. I don’t play by the rules because i am cool!
*drinks toilet water*
I don’t care if it doesn’t taste like apples, I eat what I like.
Old commercial reference win.
Do they even still make those?
*thinks*
Nope. I haven’t eaten those since I was 4 or 5.
I don’t even remember seeing them at the store in a while.
*remembers them when they weren’t froot loop colored*
And the box was…green…
*eyes become misty as air turns nostalgic*
And parents thought there might have been SOME nutritional value in them…
And they still didn’t taste like apples.
They do have a fat apple and a Jamaican cinnamon stick though.
Apple Jacks!
I live in NY — They have them all around here! Wonderful creatures, those Apple Jacks are.
I thought they were still around.
On trips to the US as a kid, I discovered Kix. I loved that cereal. And Life Brand cereal too. I ate lots of junky cereals too, though (Cap’n Crunch being the only breakfast cereal that I’ve seen turn milk visibly oily). I wonder– what other junky cereals did the rest of you eat in your childhood?
I have a lingering soft spot for “Corn Pops”. That and “Apple Jacks” were the only sweetened cereals I liked. Otherwise it’s “Cheerios” all the way.
Corn Pops, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, Sugar Smacks, Fruit Loops, Honeycomb, Capt. Crunch, Franken Berry, Cocoa and Fruity Pebbles, and Trix. That’s the sugary ones. I also liked ones that were good for you, like Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Spoon sized Shredded Wheat, Team Flakes, Cheerios, Rice Crispies, Life, Raisin Bran, and Total.
…..What, too much info? Sorry, kannadzuki wanted to know!
Nah, not TMI. Just nostalgic.
I also enjoyed most of those sugary cereals, and Rice Crispies, Shreddies, Shredded Wheat and “Muffets.” Nowadays, the only breakfast cereals I eat are either oatmeal or the granola I add to my probiotic yogurt!
My favorites were always a tie between the ones on the market that contained the most sugar — Apple Jacks, Fruity Pebbles, and Froot Loops. These days, I eat the Froot Loops with the tiny marshmallows in them
My mom never allowed sugary cereals. But my favourite is the Quaker corn squares.
No one mentioned my favorite – Quisp! (Remember, the little alien dude with the propeller on his cap?)
They have those at a grocery store here! My brother-in-law is addicted to them.
I’ve never seen Quisp before… but I suspect I might have seen a parody of it. That reminded me of Crispix. I loved that one too.
Well, is the sign technically a fail? I mean… It is correct…
It’s a fail for those people who actually need to read the sign before going to the toilet.
agreed.
right, but if they NEED that kind of prescription, can they really read at all?
braille dummy!!!!!!
Braille dummy? Is that a ventriloquist’s doll with bumps all over it?
only when it’s cold.
Do you think maybe this sign is simply written in perfect Engrish?
*gets engrish grammar to check*
now let’s see…
i piss in water
Well I hope you don’t work at Evian, then.
lol wow… comment win for sure
And it was necessary for you to tell us this because….?
who doesnt? i do. i also piss in air, while the piss is on the way to the water. i also piss on Earth. basically i am a pissing machine. OWNED
You’re a pissing machine? I’ve heard of people being “exercising machines” or “running machines”, but pissing machines? What is this world coming to?
im not a coming machine, but i try!
WiN
Does this mean…the toilet bowl…WIN?
Who would ACTUALLY need that warning? This is not a rhetorical question.

Um, aren’t there SINKS with RUNNING WATER in human toilet facilities?
In the human ones, yes.
Good thing you specified there… Some people sill don’t know that aliens don’t use sinks. Like… Michael Jackson for example never washes his hands. He makes little kids lick them clean.
Hey, here in Japan, the sinks and bathtubs are in a separate room from the toilet in each person’s home. Many toilets half little open-ended pipes that allow you to use the clean water headed for the toilet’s tank (when you flush), though.

The only reason signs are created, is because someone has done it.
My guess is dogs and some drunkards.
There are some REALLY stupid people out there. Likely someone did drink the water. There are parts of rural America that are downright frightening.
I don’t think they are going to make a sign for just dogs
own up people! who dun it

That was a fail or two ago. (Um… the “fallout” part was implied.)
Actually, the sign is not so silly.
If you live in disaster prone areas (where things like tornadoes, earthquakes, code pink, and so on are present dangers) people are taught that the water in the tank (not the bowl) is safe to drink and not contaminated.
But if the water supply to the tank is not the same as to the sinks and such, the sign makes perfect sense.

Not that that has anything to do with anything.
You have seven east Indian ponies? Or were you referring to pieces of lace?
Neither, actually. Ponies really would be difficult to house in my one bedroom apartment. And while I have some small aptitude for cross stitch, it does not extend to tatting lace.
Seven gunny sacks then?
Noop.
Rats. I give up then. That’s it! It’s a rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

Lace is really hard to tat. The ink tends to fall through the holes.
But there is automatic refilling…
That is the most depressing thing I’ve seen today: your name five times in a row in the recent comments box.
Six with the above and seven with this.
Are you doing alright today?
What do you mean? I feel fine.

I think they were.

*pokes head in*
Did someone say theremin? Those things are awesome!
I now refer to the Argos catalogue as the laminated book of dreams because of him.
Not everyone knows what they are, but everybody has heard one at some point.
Hee! The skwerlly-moomin is here! If only my Bobby could join us…
I think I just asked my computer to do too many things at once. It gave me the stupid spinning beach ball thing. All I did was attempt to play some music AND refresh a FailBlog page!
Overload! You can’t expect it to multitask!
My favourite use of theremin is in “Good Vibrations”.
I really need to take it in, see if there’s anything to be done. I KNOW it needs an upgrade!
I’d never heard of one until 4:47 Avis’ time.
I learn something new on here every day.
I’m trying to figure out if the music I’m listening to now has a theramin. Jean Michel Jarre’s “Equinoxe” for anyone that might know. It certainly sonds like it.
He has been known to use them, so probably.
jam, I’m absolutely positive that while you hadn’t heard OF one, you certainly heard one before today. Hammy mentioned one place.
I’m sure I must have. I was a child of the 80′s.
Same here, but I didn’t listen to that music until I was in my 20′s really. For about a year or so in the very very late 80′s I listened to the radio. Then my best friend killed it by playing NKTOB for me and I wanted to go deaf.
Oh oh oh oh oh! My mate just went to see those live in concert.
T’is not my bag but each to their own.
My friend missed the very first day of high school to see them in concert. In ’89. I couldn’t believe it. I was actually GLAD to be in school that day!
If I was going to skive school, I could think of hundreds of things I’d rather do instead of that. (Hee… and I did most of them too)
Her mother not only let her do it, but drove her to the concert!!
*sigh* I must have been a goody-goody, I never skipped school. Of course, if I had, I’d have been caught. My parents were… sheltering.
Mine didn’t much care where I was; I forged notes for 2 years.
Whoops, look at the time!
Night peeps.
‘Night jam!
I’ve never “skipped” per se, but I have been absent with permission a number of times because of my involvement in the school play and band.
Sweet dreams, Jam.
Nope, Im pretty sure that is not a theramin. It’s a synthesizer with some vibrato that is emulating one. Although it’s not really a big difference. A theramin IS a synthesizer, it just has a weird way of controlling the pitch, so a synthesizer with a keyboard is really almost the same thing. Im pretty sure that if it was an actual theramin it would be doing some much more interesting (CREEPY!) stuff cause using it in such a controlled way would be a lot of work to just have it sound like a normal synth.
Every school I went to was a (very) small private school. If I so much as was late to class they called my folks. To this day, I make it a point to be early, wherever I am going.
According to the blurb on iTunes, he used 13 types of synthesizers on that album.In 1978.
The theremin is on Jarre’s ‘Oxygène part III’. There is a DVD with an integral performance of Oxygène where you can see him play it.(Rather badly I might add.)
Here’s another (creepy) example of theremin.
Clickie.
I’ll have to look that up, The album I have is something an uncle made a copy of for me when I was 16. I killed the tape, I listened to it so much. I have not heard the Oxygene album. I like one, so it stands to reason I might like the other.
The theremin-like thingy in Equinoxe is at the end of Equinoxe IV.
It’s probably not a real theremin though. It’s the same instrument that is used in Oxygene.
Its exactly what Dave Matthews has been saying for years.
You are referring to the guy who emptied his tour bus’s toilet into the Chicago River while on a bridge in downtown Chicago?
24hp +6 rads
Well, hey, let’s not jump to conclusions. What if the restaurant had hired a mentally unstable person, was telling him to not drink the items in the toilet, and misspelled “waiter”? As in, “CAUTION: Do not drink this, waiter.”
idiocracy?
or maybe Walter? as in George Walker Bush. pwnz3rD!1
oh ship. i meant walker for both……..did i just fail?
It’s the right place for a fail in any event!
Very simple – the john uses non-potable water (probably from a waste treatment plant). In So Calif, you learn that if an earthquake hits and the water main has broken, if you desperately need water you can use that from the tank. Hence…
I’m not entirely sure I want to know what a win would be there, for that matter.
CHRISTOPHER!!!!
*SMOOCHES!!!!*
Been a while, but I missed ya too much Avis.
What’s been up? I missed you too! How are things?
Well, I know not to drink out of a toilet, if that’s what you’re asking.
I think I know better than that! I would never ask or assume that.
How’s your sister?
Due April 8.
So soon! Everything else OK?
perhaps this may be reverse psychology.
Test comment — Do not reply — Doing so makes you gay — And, if already gay, makes you a “thpoilthport” — Test comment
What the heck! This comment works, but not the one on “Classical Fail?!” Gah!
Well, Avis, Mr. Cuddles, WhoaNellie, and Arthur Eld: these are for you, from “Classical Fail”:
.
Avis:
• To support that statement, I’m assuming you’ve seen all of my comments from every post I’ve commented on from every ICHC site I use. And, since you are clearly the Goddess of Funny, who says what’s funny and not, none of my comments are funny. Praise Avis, the Goddess of Funny!
• Since you’ve seen all of my comments, you’ve also seen that not only are they not funny, they are “[n]othing but complaints.” Not like this is a blog, and not like I have the right to complain when I want to (which is, apparently, every time). Nooooo.
• The very same “very sad existence” that compels you, and others like you, to comment about 20 times on every post, many of which don’t deserve even one? The very same “very sad existence” that inspires such inspiring words of wisdom and genius as “The whole [urinal cake] even,” “I don’t think the possibility of being a uni-baller bothers him all that much,” “*blanches*,” “*has seven tats* Not that that has anything to do with anything,” “Noop,” and “CHRISTOPHER!!!! *SMOOCHES!!!!*” The very same “very sad existence” that makes you think, “Hm, since I’m the Goddess of Funny, and this mortal’s comment was not funny, I’m going to derive pleasure from insulting him, because that’s the kind of ‘jeans and t-shirt kinda girl’ I am.” That very same very sad existence?
You, my “pettite” Goddess, are dead wrong.
.
Mr. Cuddles:
• No, I’m not jealous and upset that my bottom was never tufted by the piano teacher I never had, maybe because I don’t play piano, rendering you entire comment invalid. Sorry to burst your perverse-fantasy bubble like that.
• *sigh* Simply put, you’ve never met me, I’ve never met you. That’s how the Internet works. Lastly, no one has ever commented on my gait (lookitup), which I cherish. Did you learn something today? Yesh you did! *cheek squeeze*
.
WhoaNellie:
• DO NOT tell me to show my work again. My algebra teacher already pissed me off too many times with that.
• It wasn’t, to your dismay.
• Years end.
• I’m not poor.
• I’m “Wyde” because my first username here was “Ope N. Wyde,” patent pending. But, since that got old, I shortened it to “Wyde.” Why don’t you ask me how fingers fing while you’re at it?
.
Arthur Eld:
My… artwork? Why don’t you track down and show me this artwork I seemingly forgot I had somehow posted to -specifically- FB, let alone any ICHC site. It’ll be like an adventure! Sans the fun!
.
.
I await your rebuttals.
…Fail?
Really? How so?
Ooh, can you patent a word? If so, I get dibs on “the”.
Um… sure?

…You too!…?
Me too?
I’m here for the laughs my friend. I come in peace. I’d never deliberately upset/annoy/irritate* anyone.
This ^^ is my humour. It’s not to everyone’s taste but there it is.
It’s only banter! You can’t really take anything on a site called FAILBLOG seriously.
*delete as appropriate
Psst… I think he meant “have a nice day too”.
Oh! HAHAHA…
*snorkity*
The trouble with text is there’s no tone of voice!
Also, the question mark threw me.
*roffles*
Yeah, he pretty much nailed it.
Why so serious?
When people push me, I push back.
How… mature of you.
I did answer you in Classical Fail, just so you know. And if you haven’t figured out how to get to it, that’s your problem.
• And quoting a fictional, maniacal serial killer IS mature?
• I know you answered me. And, as explained above, this comment is supposed to be the reply to that reply, since I couldn’t reply on “Classical Fail.”
• I know how to get to it, I just couldn’t comment anymore on it.
Wyde, sweets, this is a humo(u)r site. We come here to have fun. When you step all over that fun, we let you know it. I never said I was the Goddess of Funny, you did. I was trying to point out, some time ago, that when you complain to us about the pictures posted it doesn’t get to the folks you want it to. It does sort of, kind of, but not really. If you are unhappy with the pictures posted you need to go to the “contact us” link and tell the people who RUN the site. By using the comments section to complain that you don’t like the picture or don’t think it’s funny, you’re really only telling the people who VISIT the site.
? I realize this was not directed towards me, but…..?
Just look for my post on “Classical Fail,” towards the middle of the page. The aforementioned users replied to my comment, and I was unable to reply to theirs.
I’m starting to call you “the other JasonK” in my head.
Seriously, why do you feel you need to rant in a compassionate speech here? No one really wants that kind of anger blown in their face, especially Avis.
Really? They don’t like that kind of anger blown in their face? Maybe if they didn’t reply in a way that was guaranteed to receive some, they wouldn’t. Makes you think.
P.S. “Rant in a compassionate speech?”
This is an important notice, because buba sometimes drink water from those conteiners. Now buba knows he should not drink but eat this water!
Cool they clearly have great respect for dogs!

you need to be moron to drink this
Why???
…Why??? Why??? Delilah???
good advice really
Captain Obvious placed that sign there.
Ah, yes. My old arch nemeses! Captain Obvious and his sidekick, Redundancy Boy….
I promise not to.
Great job teaching those dogs to read
The fail here is that the sign is over a toilet, and it says not to drink it.
\/\/L|T
Ah, Refreshing
LOL!!!! I’m not gonna drink it anyway!
people think dogs can read human languages? what is the world coming to? besides, if the dog was THAT smart, he or she’d know not to drink from the toilet anyway! (lolz)
this is by far the funniest thing i have ever seen on failblog, besides denial fail.
-.-’ they reeeally wanna reach dogs huh?
has anybody ever noticed that things get waaaaaaay off topic and somehow end up with an argument about how someone is gay? it kinda funny
There’s the same sign in a washroom on the Coquihalla highway. I wonder if this is the same one.
Expecting dogs to read?
I NEED ONE OF THOSE EVERY TIME i GET A DRINK THE SEAT FALLS AND HITS ME IN THE HEAD (I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!)
Does this rule apply for dogs, too?
Good sign, but it leaves still lot to question about, like why shouldnt you drink from potty, and what happens if you do.
… the truth behind the fountain of youth.
Not a FAIL if your dog can read. Lol
#49
But it looks so blue and tasty!
Whatever water is in that toilet has GOT to taste better than the nasty city water they have here in Alaska.
What?? NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why on earth would you think that?
I answered your email…did you get it?
No…
Hold on…I’ll try to resend.
This fancy-schmancy email stuff doesn’t work.
It will. I’ll try emailing you from a different account.
(But just so’s you know, you have NOTHING to worry about. ‘Kay?)
*SQUEEZE*
BTW, we knew this day one come and you’d be upset. Forget about it.
*SQUEEZE*
I’ll try. Thank you.
You will try to drink potty water?
CRAP!!! there goes my plans. and i was sooooooooo thirsty.
don’t worry
yeh, you should know better!
