  1. fuzz on the concept says:

    “It’s bad for you, mmkay?”

    • TOM says:

      no what they meant was, it’s prohibited to wear a smoking underwater, because when it gets wet it’ll drag you down and you might drown!

    • Brewski says:

      Not nearly as dangerous as Dihydrogen Monoxide, however. (clickie)

      • Shadow says:

        “Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide.”

        I wasn’t even aware that roughly 86 of the population knew what it was. 8O

        • Bearly Awake says:

          What I love is the invitation at the bottom to sign up for their newsletter. I wonder what they do with that list…

        • Arthur Eld says:

          I would bet that at least 89 of the population know what it is.

          • TMI Service says:

            The human body is about 60% dihydrogen monoxide in adult males and 55% in adult females, mmkay?

            • Arthur Eld says:

              Err… thanks.

              I was trying to make a joke because Shadow left out %
              • fuzz on the concept says:

                playing roughly, eh?

              • fluffy says:
                 But he wrote "percent" 
                • Arthur Eld says:
                   In the quote, but not in his sentence. 'Twas a lame joke, anyway.
                  • fluffy says:
                     oopps.. sorry Arthur.. maybe if we continue to discuss this it will turn funny... maybe not 
                  • Dragonwriter says:

                    Arthur, I thought it was HIGH-larious.

                    *squeeze-hug*

                    • Arthur Eld says:

                      Thank you!
                      *squeezecuddlehug*

                      I read your students are alright so far? I hope they don’t disappoint you (if they do, tell ‘em I’ll come around and kick some asses!). Have a nice day teaching!

                      • Dragonwriter says:

                        Hee! No teaching on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

                        And yes! So far so good. I’ve identified one troublemaker of what I call the “indolent eyeroller” variety. These types of students sit in the back of the class with their arms crossed across their chests and roll their eyes whenever you make them do actual work. This one also tried to catch me out and make me look stupid by belligerently challenging one of my statements. I swear, it’s just like dealing with a troll on the blog. And, as with the trolls, he only managed to make himself look like an ass.

                        I have no problems with students challenging me or arguing with me…in fact, I encourage it. But that sort of thing is not cool. I’m really hoping that this one is going to realize that those tactics are not going to get him anywhere in my class and drop.

                        *crosses fingers*

                        But on the plus side…there are several students who seem really sharp and a lot of fun! So YAY!!

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          You wouldn’t be able to enjoy the sharp students as much without an asshöle as a contrast.

                          I have a question: How can I get a job like yours? No teaching on two weekdays?! *jealous*

                          I know teachers and professors work a lot in their "free" time!
                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Heh…that’s for sure. People think that profs have an easy job.

                          …BWUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!

                          *ahem* ‘Scuse me.

                          So to get a job like mine, you have to sell your soul to the devil and become his bitch. At least…that’s what grad school feels like a lot of the time.

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          :shock: AA is the :evil: ?!?

                          Seriously: Be glad that you have a job that you love (several aspects of it, at least)! How many people have to spend a major part of their lifes with shitty stuff just to be able to pay the bills? You’re really fortunate (and I bet you know that :-) ).

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          I do! I absolutely love what I do. I decided a long time ago that like is too damned short to spend it being miserable.

                          And *SNORK!* The Admiral's gonna get you for that one!

                          *bighugsqueezegoose*

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          You said that! You! Not me!

                        • Arthur Eld says:

                          *panics*
                          *hides in under bed*

                        • Brewski says:

                          I can vouch for the “hard work” part. My dad was a prof. He worked constantly, late into the night, on weekends, etc. It was always something… lecture prep, research, grant applications, publications, etc. They earn every penny.
                          But summers were great, because he would take as much time as needed for family vacations, backpacking, whatever. And in spite of his hard work, he always made time for the kids somehow.

                          Can you tell I love my Dad?

                          :-)

                        • TOM says:

                          You also got loads of holidays as a prof, that makes up for the work at home! BEsides, in my country, it’s the best job you can imagine, coz you practically cannot get fired and your income is around 5000 dollars to start with!

        • Jimbo isn't wearing enough flair says:

          So yeah, no more jarred baby food for me. I didn’t realize it was a component in my steroids too. It just goes to show, the internet can save our lives….

        • Khaaaaaaan says:

          That’s more than half!

        • Ajohnson153 says:

          I saw the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode where they get a bunch of environuts to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. Seeing them squirm when they found out how truly uninformed they were was priceless. Just goes to show that people should take the time to educate themselves on a topic before taking up the cause to ban it. Informed decisions prevent bad decisions.

      • Skratdaddy says:

        That is too funny…
        “Son you cannot have any more dihydrogen monoxide..
        But dddaaaddd, I love dihydrogen monoxide…
        Sorry son, it can kill you and everyone else on the planet.”
        *sneaks squeeze bottle under shirt*
        “OK dad, no more dihydrogen monoxide for me.”

      • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

        B-U-T-FUL! My favorate line is by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members’ families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),

      • Wazza says:

        Its very obvious that Dihydrogen Monoxide and smoking do not mix.

  2. Bearly Awake says:

    Deep purple, you have been warned.

  3. Arthur Eld says:

    Is snorkeling on land okay?

  4. Brewski says:

    *puff puff (gurgle)*

  5. fluffy says:

    … so do the laws of nature.

  6. Obama's Teleprompter says:

    This helps explain Senator Al Franken.

  7. Shadow says:

    Ah, those kids… they’ll go anywhere to smoke without being caught.

  8. fluffy says:

    I wonder what prompted this sign. It’s not like they caught someone in the act.

  9. Vladimir says:

    This explains why America lost the wars in both Vietnam and Iraq!!!!!

  10. *Dives in*
    *sparks up*
    *explosion from oil spill*

    Aha…that may explain it..

  11. lx says:

    Well, in that case… *empties bikini pockets*

  12. Jason N says:

    im glad i can still smoke underwater here in Ohio.

    *wipes sweat off forehead and wonders if the next time might be the last*

    • Jimbo isn't wearing enough flair says:

      Just so long as you aren’t in a bar. Stupid frickin law…
      *shakes fist at Columbus*
      You can’t stop me! Do you hear me!

  13. KatzVonD♀ says:

    Does that mean the ladies of FB can’t be smoking hot in our bikinis in the pool? :(

  14. ozcup says:

    Can you still drink beer underwater in Minnesota?

  15. Skitz says:

    Fish don’t want your second hand smoke.

  16. ... says:

    yeah , i was fined 20 bucks because i smoked underwater.

  17. refineryguy says:

    fluffy: it may be to prevent smokers from fouling the air in underwater airdomes. we had one in a public pool when I was a kid, was fun to swim down and up into the airdome. Could breathe in there and look around. A smoker lit up a cigarette in there and I nearly died when I took my first big breath of that filth. Of course the smokers thought it was the greatest fun.

  18. AtomicPunk says:

    because we all know that the mermaids are crack addicts… >.<

  19. ozcup says:

    it really depends on what you are smoking… pot is really fun to smoke underwater. One big water bong.

  20. bostonRNguy says:

    If water is bad for smoking, we need to ban water. Lets ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. It kills! Look at the number of people who drown each year. Water=bad

  21. Annie says:

    Looks Photoshopped to me. If it’s real, how about posting its physical location?

  22. mew4ever23 says:

    In my opinion, If you can find someone who can smoke underwater, leave them to it.

  23. uberd says:

    You fools! This law was created to prevent Michael Phelps being caugth smoking bongs in Minnesota

    :D

  24. ozcup says:

    If I had a nickel for everytime I heard “is that a lighter in your speedo or are you just glad to see me” I would be a rich man right now.

  25. ozcup says:

    the real reason they have this law is to prevent fires cause by people falling asleep underwater and lighting their seabeds on fire

  26. Garnet says:

    If people Minnesota can physically smoke underwater, I’m so visiting!!!

  27. ozcup says:

    Is flamable anything like flammable. I think flamable has something to do with farting. And really a swiming pool becoming a giant bomb is just dumb.

  28. Alice.InWonderland says:

    People keep getting smarter and smarter every day…

  29. arimareiji says:

    Awww, no way!

    So much for my ingenious plan to sell magnesium-powered cigarettes…

  30. ozcup says:

    where are puffer fish supposed to go?

  31. ozcup says:

    I know that is really stupid because puffer fish cannot read

  32. aikiwaza says:

    I am sensing a new olympic water event… syncronized smoking while swimming.

  33. ozcup says:

    the other thought is shouldn’t the sign be underwater in case puffer fish could read.

  34. ozcup says:

    did you know that puffer fish smoke just for the halibut

  35. ozcup says:

    i see them shelling packs of cigarettes to the other fish all the time.

  36. ozcup says:

    I asked the puffer fish about this but he just clammed up.

  37. Meh says:

    … As do the Laws oh Physics.

  38. Karasu says:

    Sorry. We follow the laws of nature fairly closely, here. : /

  39. Blog Ninja (Blog Monster) says:

    Oh Sh*t! That’s my state! Guess no more underwater smoking…

  40. Bob says:

    Strangely enough, I once met a guy who COULD smoke underwater. He’d hold a cigarette in his teeth (tip in) and close his lips over the filter.
    Dip underwater, pop up, flip cig, carry on…. just to prove he could do it.

  41. Nitro says:

    Screw you Minnesota!

  42. Paul says:

    The sign is from Duluth, Mn, at the Park Point community center by the beach of Lake Superior. They make hilarious signs about once or twice a month. Ive got a couple pics of others I will try to post.

  43. clolo says:

    ..and firing in the sky

  44. Timothy of FAIL says:

    How’s that possible? It’s extinguish when you do it underwater… Admiral and General admit it whenever they smoke underwater.

  45. FailWhale says:

    *puff puff* …. Sorry what?

  46. StreakyTSC says:

    How is Smoking underwater even remotely POSSIBLE!?!?!?
    Who in Minnesota wrote that law?
    Did they have any idea how stupid that sounds?
    Betcha they never get back in as a dogcatcher…

  47. Corn says:

    Man, I haven’t been on failblog for a while!

  48. maggie says:

    the law of physics prohibits that too.

  49. RM says:

    Minnesota – land of 10,000,000,000,000 laws.

    • burnsgirl08 says:

      Such as it is illegal to give or receive oral sex. I don’t think that one’s enforced though. There’s a lot of stupid laws here.

  50. Dr.Oppotimus says:

    Can I float and smoke?

  51. L says:

    like sponge bob with patrick and the fire

  52. Maybe there are submarines

  53. GIBA says:

    And fire in the sky!!!

  54. It would be catastrophic if they did allow it.

  55. Treece says:

    The sad thing is, for them to have to post that, someone probably tried it.

  56. Kam says:

    Is there a policy about Fire in the sky??

  57. aguy says:

    This is actually possible. Me and my friends have smoked Hookah off a Pontoon in our lake before while we were underwater. We brought the hose underwater with us

  58. tehleet says:

    Do they mean a smoking jacket?

  59. kelly says:

    this is hilarious because its in duluth at park point near the beach.

  60. GiantDeck says:

    There is a way to smoke underwater.

    Use a snorkel.

  61. StreakyTSC says:

    I take the photo to mean that the smoker and cigar, cigarette or pipe must be fully submerged with the cigar, cigarette or pipe light for the infraction to be committed…

  62. OneWingedHeathen says:

    I blame the republicans. They must have made this sign. And LOL at meowth. Fail to understand context of “English”. This sign doesn’t make me proud to be Minnesotan.

    • Meowth says:

      Wait, what? Are you saying that I failed to understand context of “English”? How so? Or am I misunderstanding you again?

  63. lace wigs says:

    no smoking underwater, because it might burn up the underwater basket weaving that’s going on…

  64. Crazed Gunman says:

    Not to worry Minnesotans, I think some natural laws already cover this burning issue. Not now, not in the future, or in the past, will underwater smoking plague your “beautiful” state.

  65. nom nom kitty says:

    Well i was going too burn all of minnesota’s water but not that its illegal i guess i can’t.

  66. Lurch says:

    you know it makes me glad to see law enforcement officers really cracking down on the laws of PHYSICS ~_-

  67. shaykel says:

    this law is for the mafia, you just can’t smoke people underwater

  68. danica says:

    HAHAHAH MINNESOTA! yes…dang no underwater smoking??? already did it :0

  69. alex says:

    Maybe they mean underwater blowjob ?

  70. MAGWolf says:

    Hey we like our water like our resturants. Tho that defys the laws of physics XD
