most aussies i meet tend to be proud that they can’t speak another language therefore none of their signs would be in *shudder* a foreign language… it’s actually kinda annoying.
It’s right in front of the North Cott Surf Club, I think it is pretty new but considering its location you’d think WARNING man-eating Great White Sharks would be more appropriate.
Not really.
Only if it’s turned counter-clockwise, it’s the buddhistic symbol of rebirth.
Turned clockwise, only used by the nazi party, it would logically represent destruction.
So if someone uses it in this context, also with the the white circle and the red background it should be considered offensive.
But this is obviously a troll, so the only thing I’ll do is laugh.
Laugh about how he failed at offending me.

only an hour and I am holiday in Bulgaski…..nowhere near a beach…I am already clumsy enough without slippery water making things extra difficult- see you later failfriends.
It’s probably meant to warn you of the gutter just off shore.. along most of North Cot and Swanbourne you wade 3 meters out and it goes from ankle deep to 2 meters deep in one step
HOLY SHIT! thats in western australia! i walked past that beach yesterday! OMG W.A FINALLY did somthing people are interested in… even if its stupidity
water on the beach??? wtf is this new??
Be careful of the sand, too!
gets everywhere- pesky silicates.
May the quartz be with you?
but only if you are a pyrite.
WARNING: The pyrite b(iot)ites (but not toooo hard).
(…and, yes. On occasion, I am.)
That comment was crystal clear… Not!
Sowwy, didn’t mean to deal a Dark Crystal!
hey, least you aren’t a gypsum.
Jewel regret that!
Ruby upon you.
Hmm…I’m afraid I don’t have enough energy to post a useful comment here…has anyone of you guys a refractor crystal to charge me up?
I prefer to be a pyromaniac, thats slightly more fun than being a crystal.
Don’t Take it for granite. its gneiss when your quartzed to go to the beach, but beware of the pyrites. ARRRRGH!
Don’t Take it for granite. its gneiss when your quartzed to go to the beach, but beware of the pyrites. ARRRRGH!!
when was the meeting to tell us about all this new stuff?
Water in the ocean/lake/body of water, sand on the beach.
Whoah, is this Earth 2.0?
Yesterday the only place where water was, was my kitchen sink!
I’d hate to see what condition your toilets in then.
I don’t have a toilet, I sneak into our neighbours house for that.
i dunno, i can see this style of signs catching on.
someone straps a sign to a sharks head saying “warning! teeth!”
all newborn babies must be stamped on the forehead with “warning! discharges bodily fluids!”
all people with Bush as their last name will be forced to wear shirts that say “warning! do not elect! DO NOT ELECT!!!”
Bush Sign WIN, but now you have a better president.
lol the sand bites
How come this isnt in brail or spanish…ive seen blind people at the beach be fore… Every sign is in spanish nowadays
they dont speak spanish in Australia
Spanish people in Australia do.
most aussies i meet tend to be proud that they can’t speak another language therefore none of their signs would be in *shudder* a foreign language… it’s actually kinda annoying.
I’m australian – and
I-O can-O speak-O Spanish-O.
Slippery when wet!
No!Its “The Water is slippery when wet”
No, it’s “water turns into saw-teeth when wet”.
dehydrated water- just add water.
Are you interested in frozen boiling hot water?
You never know when you need it.
Do you also happen to have the recipe for ice?
No, but I can offer you my collection of snow flakes.
I have a cloud in my fridge you can have- do you want me to mail it?
Does it rain when I unfreeze it?
Free showers are always great- Unless it’s acid rain.
acid is the best, it makes rainbow unicorns fly in through my wndow

It’s raining outside – doesn’t that count as water too?
Together with a sandstorm, yes.
Err… then it’s a beach.
*facepalm*
sandstorm and rain together = vertical beach it is quite difficult to swim at.
Not if you can levitate…
And when the rain and/or the sandstorm stops, you can go mud wrestling.
No matter how I try, I just can’t undersand this thread!
I agree, fluently reading this thread will give you a headache.
I already tried…now I need therapy =(
I can offer you therapy at very competitive rates!

Hmm…

One summer coming right up! Sorry though, we just ran out of fries.
I can live with that
put then you will just piss Newton of again, so don’t do it, okay?
hey, who turned my “b” upside down?!
The sign says: warning, red carpet may be pulled from under you.
*pulls*
oh like that…..sorry!
Oh Aja, was that you in the previous fail?
So this is the missing upper part from the previous fail?
Now everything does make sense.
everything? like, where the socks goes and why girls go to bathrooms in groups?
Busted.
Seriously, this must be shopped, I went to so many beaches and there never was water!
I was wondering what the difference between “beach” and “desert” could be.
I was wondering whether you could understand irony or not.
it’s one of the parts of steel isn’t it
Does that have anythingto do with “goldeny”?
No, just with coppery.
You can lead a horse to slippery water…
Just a silver of hope that it won’t drink and fall.
Hopefully it drinks in fall.
Nope- thats Shirley Bassey
Drowning not allowed!
Levitating over the water isn’t allowed, too.
Say that to Jesus- He’ll disagree.
Levitating only allowed on certain occasions by Gods and Prophets then….is that better?
But only from 18:00 to 6:00 and on sundays.
OK fine- but no domestic violence.
But… But… I thought that’d be allowed on sundays?
Now I’ve bought that baseball bat for nothing…
You can still cure hiccups with that.
Or rather shockingly…..play baseball?
But I don’t know how to play baseball!
Domestic is allowed on sundays, its the only day theres room on the beach for it.
you need Newton’s approval aswell… after all, he invented the gravity
Beaches are not free. That is, over here.
Warning water may become solid and saw you in half?

I never understood that Beach Boys song until now.
*sings theme tune to jaws*
there appear to be a flotilla of sharks there queing for the clumsy human.
You seem to misunderstand the situation.
I mean, look: Theres Water!
Nobody cares about sharks, water is way more dangerous!
Of course water is more dangerous. Who ever heard of anyone drowning in a shark?
Well my cousin has a friend, his great-great-grandfather knew an army colleague, who knew someone who did.
Well my accountant’s best-friend’s pool boy was eaten by water. True story.
Wha- I hope they killed it for doing so.
It was horrible. They put it in a glass beaker and evaporated it over a bunsen burner.

Hi crystal!
At least the sign is working – no people on the beach!
Obviously there is.
Who should have taken the photograph then?
Oh, I forgot.
Levitating prophets and stuff.
Maybe they fear the dihydrogen monoxide?
*sigh*
it is a beach- more likely to be chlorides and sulphates…..possibly
They’re dead. Drowned.
What about Jesus?
coma. should be up and about in a couple of days though
Whoah.
I didn’t think that losing all of his 12 Apostles to this ferocious beast called water would cause such a trauma.
He’s dead. Crucified.
In the middle of the sea?!
Probably a prophet cross- it floats.
In his time it was a mountain.
So the holy land is in fact Atlantis?
So they were drowning, not waving?
They were running away from the dangerous waters, screaming.
Not everyone ran- Jesus flew.
I thought he walked on shark teeth.
We all know that the water is way more dangerous.
The sharks are just decoration.
although slightly more dangerous than tinsel.
It’s not as fail as you think, as this beach is in Perth, western AUSTRALIA right? There have been rumours of an aquatic drop-bear species lately…
When are they gonna prove the existence of the drop goat do you reckon?
When Morocco admits to exporting them here :/
Yep. Just make sure to coat yourself in Vegemite, and you should be fine
Putting a fork in your hair also works.
Though you should be careful – those who hate it won’t stay within 30 km of you, while those who love you will have eaten you alive in a few seconds.

How do you know about thi… errr, I mean no. There’s no such plan.
Arthur, shht.
Don’t tell them about Merkel’s evil plans.
I placed the sign as you ordered captain.
Ahoy!
So ye put a hidden treasure there?
Arrr, I’ll dig for it.
Not so fast, matey!
Arrrr, ’tis my gold for the keepin’!
avast!
can ayyy at least keep this here paaaarott?
Arrr, you can, matey!

Hey! 1st Mate Damien is escaping with the treasure! Stop him!
Phew, thanks BFF.

I surrender!

Oh no, one of them has managed to climb aboard!
Ah, get it off! Get it off!

Yoho, blow the man down!
watch out for tiny rock particles along the beach.
buba® thinks it’s an important notice for blind people, who can’t see the sea just behind.
Yeah, because blindness doesn’t involve not being able to read.
Noticing irony fail, Damien.
Noticing irony as an reply to irony fail would be more appropriate.

Not any more

I thought the sign was warning the water that people may be falling from the sky.
And then get sawn in half by the water?
must be a new one… I live not far from north cot and walk along the beach there every other day and never seen this sign …
but yeh water at the beach? who’d have thunk it?
It’s right in front of the North Cott Surf Club, I think it is pretty new but considering its location you’d think WARNING man-eating Great White Sharks would be more appropriate.
We took the photo on our regular walk
So, the man on the sign: did he …. ahem, never mind.
depends on your sentiments of its usage.
Not really.
Only if it’s turned counter-clockwise, it’s the buddhistic symbol of rebirth.
Turned clockwise, only used by the nazi party, it would logically represent destruction.
So if someone uses it in this context, also with the the white circle and the red background it should be considered offensive.
But this is obviously a troll, so the only thing I’ll do is laugh.
Laugh about how he failed at offending me.
Those were the sentiments I was referring to- though it is also used in hindi society.
It’s a self-insult. Not worth more than a *yawn*.

That’s the secret of life?! I’m disappointed.
Yup…it all comes down to replying to yourself…i know…disheartening, isn’t it?
And to those of others. QED
wow, it works
Who left the water there?! Now one poor man has slipped on it and SUFFERED!
no suffering… just surfing
oh no. there’s water on the beach. there’s no way out!!!
Life’s a beach.
and then you slip up and get all wet.
only an hour and I am holiday in Bulgaski…..nowhere near a beach…I am already clumsy enough without slippery water making things extra difficult- see you later failfriends.

‘In emergency phone DOG’
So what kind of superhero dog is this, and what is it’s phonenumber? Will it understand me, or do I have to bark in morse?
It took me like 5 minutes to see that! But to answer your question, it’s phone number is 1-557-877-9456. I usually call him for emergency doggy bags.
*ignores*
I like “In emergency Phone DOG” better lol
Ignoring works better if you don’t reply directly. Just sayin’.
It really says In Emergency Phone 000
hahah
fake. it’s obvious there’s more that’s been deliberately cut out of the photo.
Don’t Take it for granite. its gneiss when your quartzed to go to the beach, but beware of the pyrites. ARRRRGH!
Thanks Sign now I know that theres water on the beach. I was just about to drive on the beach with my car. Good thing i saw the sign
Lol, if i remember right the sign is meant to say shallow water, someones peeled off the shallow. Lol, AUSTRALIA FTW!
Then the “Water” shouldn’t be capitalized.
It’s probably meant to warn you of the gutter just off shore.. along most of North Cot and Swanbourne you wade 3 meters out and it goes from ankle deep to 2 meters deep in one step
Photoshopped images are not funny.
It’s Shallow Water.
Failblog should check images before they are posted.
And feck me why there are always a million useless retarded comments which have nothing to do with the image.
Wouldn’t that be an obvious win?
I live right near this beach! It’s awesome water!
that is fake,
iv been there and that is on the sign. plus you can see its been photoshopped…….. fail
gotta love our aussie warnings
The old sign read “Please do not attempt to walk on the water. Water may be slippery”
hilarity.
those western suburbs mums need all the life advice they can get.
check out this Perth blog. it’s GOLD:
http://dullsvillain.wordpress.com/
ahaha this is fkn random i live near cottesloe and i never saw that *.* i think it shud be “shallow water” but yeah, photoshop much ?
It’s right in front of the North Cott Surf Club, exactly as is, not Photo-Shopped.
really? well i’m gonna have a look then, and picture myself next to it.
fail hard groover, it chopped to all buggery
Fake fail?
it’s a either a photoshop job or the explanation fell below the photo.
Western Australia reference FTW
HOLY SHIT! thats in western australia! i walked past that beach yesterday! OMG W.A FINALLY did somthing people are interested in… even if its stupidity
Man, thank goodness that sign was there to warn me, I would have walked right into that water and drowned otherwise! That was a close one
Omg water?! Quite dangerous beach there.
I’ve seen worse. For example:
