Dan saw this on a urinal in the engineering building of a state university campus. Clearly, you can use the urinal in a real emergency. The real question is, what first day of school engineering prank made this happen?
It's just a faulty Sloan valve. If you flush the toilet next to it and then whack the valve with a wrench or something else solid, it will shut off no problem.
Keymo, that piece of advice makes me really happy! Really, we laugh at these signs (and I love doing so!), but you've ACTUALLY suggested a fix to a problem. That may be a first! See kids, what happens when you pay attention to grammar... :)
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.

Not sure what "H-squared O" is.
I love the fact that they felt the need to put a date on it. Is it OK to use it any other day?
