Not to be crude or anything, but my girlfriend (now wife) and I were awoken by some undergrads urinating from the second floor balcony on a car parked below. This sign would have been appropriate.
(BTW-Since you all are experts in grammar, did I use "awoken" correctly?)
It's most likely referring to the days of the Anabaptists during the Reformation. Anabaptists were frequently drowned as a punishment for "rebaptizing" themselves. Anabaptists were getting baptized as adults because they believed that their infant baptisms were not legitimate. So as a punishment for this "rebaptism," the authorities would frequently give them the "final baptism" by drowning them in a river. Of course, the sign is meant as a little bit of church history humor.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Hm...i'll keep out of THAT parking lot then...
What would Jesus do, y'all? Seriously. He wouldn't do this. I'm quite sure of that.
It's a more of a joke not so much a threat! :)
Thanks for posting!

I think it means drowned!
Baptism by fire mayhaps?
You know, "Baptized"... with a Guillotine.
Are you able to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

No. "We have awoken", "we were awakened".
