If it LOLZ, it rolls! I am not at all in charge here, but I have proposed this numerous times as the test of whether something should be here or not. The English on the sign is perfect, but I’m sure nearly everyone at least snorted when they saw this, if not LOL or even ROTFL. And it’s not just because it has to do with farts (although that helps), but to me the most hilarious aspect of this is that whoever put this sign up seems to thing we have some choice in the matter! I would GLADLY give up farting for life if I could! I could leave the room when I feel one coming on, but no doubt it would be out before I got to the door. So loosen up and laugh, people!!! Engrish or not, this is funny!
How to derive engrish from a gramatically correct translation:
Step 1: ROFLMAO
Step 2: Stop ROFL. You now have Mao.
Step 3: Fill in the name, Mao Ze Dong.
Step 4: The sign is now in the People’s Republic of China.
Step 5: The English becomes Engrish because of Chinese pronounciation.
Step 6: Engrish, check. Funny, check. Post it on Engrish Funny!
JohnB, read your 2nd-last sentence again. Great choice of words! Can you see how this could cause more farts? At least the laughter could cover the noise!
Ironic too that a diet heavier in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables leads to increased gas…but not as foul smelling as diets heavier in meats, dairy, alcohol, and junk food.
Six of one, half dozen of the other…the frequent mild farts of a healthy diet, or infrequent foul ones of an unhealthy one
Won’t turnips do this too? If someone has eaten turnips, no doubt they will violate the the rule laid down by the sign, and everybody will have to turnip around and leave.
When my daughter was an infant, it was kind of cute and funny. That stage does not last past the second or third year! And yes, women do it too, although they tend to blame it on the dog, the cat, or any handy male.
Beat me to it! I was about to ask where I could get one of these signs, because I want to nail it to my husband. Why do so many males think that gastrointestinal humour is the highest form of wit? All right, I can just about cope with his farting, but being invited to give it a mark out of 10, that’s just going too far…
Kids of both genders find flatulence to be invariably hilarious. My 9-year-old daughter will still bust into laughter if I just say the word, “fart.” But most girls eventually outgrow it, while males only sometimes do.
This could be answered once and for all if someone could translate the text above. Frankly, I think it’s a fake as well. If so, it doesn’t belong here.
This is more different-culture stuff than Engrish, because of course the English is fine. In most English-speaking countries, such a bluntly honest sign with such as drawing would never be put up. So where’s it from (China?) and what does the other text say?
Well, yes. The combination of correct English and cultural (for most Anglophones) incorrectness does make it funnier than if the English had been as broken as the wind depicted. (Hmm, that bit of wordplay didn’t quite cut it.)
I wonder whether the sign was in a small room with poor ventilation, or perhaps in an elevator lobby (it seems to be on a granite-faced wall, which argues for the latter). It’s not clear where readers of the sign are expected to fart: outdoors? In the restrooms? In the duck?
why do you women say its the men? it just so happens my wife farts far more often than i do. further, she does it in the common rooms without compunction, rather than in the bathroom or someplace more private. so, get me one of those signs for my wife!

Thanks for the link, but apparently we’re not allowed to see that clip over here (?????) I wish one of our TV networks would screen SNL. It would have to be funnier than Letterman!
FYI My query was based on a Lijit search on ‘Happy Fun Ball’ which me got 2 hits. I thought you were referring to an earlier post.
There are, of course, other possible meanings:
4. You’re about to sit on an ice cream cone.
5. Your have closed eyes, an upturned nose, and a warped grin. (Of course, you don’t see this sign.)
6. Your bracket is bigger than three.
i lol’d
Funny thing is that they consider it such a problem( farting)they had to put up signs
WHAT do those people EAT?!
Does anyone else think it looks like a big head of broccoli stuck in that rump?
Yes!
No! It’s an ice cream cone with the middle cut out and squished back together!
I thought the farter was using a megaphone!
maybe the broccoli’s coming out, rather than going in. and if it’s coming out, it’s certainly not fresh, and therefore forbidden by the sign.
This is not even Engrish at all.
it really isnt… how did this get in here?
If it LOLZ, it rolls! I am not at all in charge here, but I have proposed this numerous times as the test of whether something should be here or not.

thank you for defending me
It’s not a very new one…
(click my name)
This is true. It IS funny.
While not Engrish, it can be considered English FAIL.
If it makes us laugh, then I guess there is room for both here *S*

Engrish logic WIN!
Just so you know, the sign’s from Hong Kong or Taiwan.
JohnB, read your 2nd-last sentence again. Great choice of words! Can you see how this could cause more farts? At least the laughter could cover the noise!
When someone laughs so hard they fart, the laughter doesn’t usually cover the noise, although the laughter that then ensues sometimes can be!
sometimes I fart when I cough hard.
Sometimes when I fart hard, other people cough!
If it’s hard you must be doing it wrong!
the broccoli isnt up in it yet… maybe someone is gonna wedge it up there
I find this particularly ironic because broccoli, although I dearly love it, is one of those things that is bound to give me acute flatulence!
Ironic too that a diet heavier in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables leads to increased gas…but not as foul smelling as diets heavier in meats, dairy, alcohol, and junk food.
Six of one, half dozen of the other…the frequent mild farts of a healthy diet, or infrequent foul ones of an unhealthy one
One word: beans. I absolutely love them, but my family and coworkers all hate for me to have them, and I don’t blame them a bit!
Won’t turnips do this too? If someone has eaten turnips, no doubt they will violate the the rule laid down by the sign, and everybody will have to turnip around and leave.
If you do fart, I hope you also don’t leek.
If that happens, you need to go to the doctor and get kelp. That should help with the flatulence.
If it doesn’t kelp, just leave the mushroom.
Chick peas could be a problem for females!
(You may know them as garbanzos, but what’s funny about that name?)
I never knew peas had gender! How do you tell them apart?
It’s a vine distinction.
Divine distinction? That’s a rare trait!
Can’t you tell by taking the pod apart?
There is kelp because the sea weed.
Why does something that feels so good have to smell so bad??
That’s what HE said!
Ohhhh, if it does then she needs to go to the doctor.
Welcome to Beantown!
I knew you’d come around eventually.
He always comes around to shoot the breeze.
And believe me, when it comes to flatulence, I shoot to kill!
Two words: Jerusalem artichokes. No wonder they’re often called fartichokes. And they’re in season in winter, when we’re all indoors!
My husband gets flatulence, but it’s never cute.
I know, I know…
When my daughter was an infant, it was kind of cute and funny. That stage does not last past the second or third year! And yes, women do it too, although they tend to blame it on the dog, the cat, or any handy male.
I totally want one of these signs for my huisband
You have a band of Huis? Is that a musical band or some kind of gang? What is it like to be a Muslim in a primerily Buddhist country?
Beat me to it! I was about to ask where I could get one of these signs, because I want to nail it to my husband. Why do so many males think that gastrointestinal humour is the highest form of wit?

Grading them is waaaaay better than playing, “Guess What I Ate”!
Blech!

Better Out Than in.
It’s fake, it’s prob covering up some no smoking sign.
Yep, I believe you’re correct. If you look closely, you can see what looks like the universal No Smoking sign.
Somebody added the bit on the left. It covered the margin on that side.
Still funny, though!
This could be answered once and for all if someone could translate the text above. Frankly, I think it’s a fake as well. If so, it doesn’t belong here.
i’m wondering about that red X….
Cautioning us against the dark blackmarket underworld of kidney theft
Where can I get that sign for my husband?????
This is more different-culture stuff than Engrish, because of course the English is fine. In most English-speaking countries, such a bluntly honest sign with such as drawing would never be put up. So where’s it from (China?) and what does the other text say?
idk i thought it was funny
C’mon, fess up: did you mess with the sign?
Not Engrish, but still as funny as some of the better set-ups on Funniest Home Videos.
haha!
the fact tht its perfect english made it even more funny.
Well, yes. The combination of correct English and cultural (for most Anglophones) incorrectness does make it funnier than if the English had been as broken as the wind depicted. (Hmm, that bit of wordplay didn’t quite cut it.)

Sounds like your wife has a bubbly personality.
I bet when she throws a party, it’s a real gas!
Is this a nudist colony? That person is most definitely naked. Although…I might walk around naked if my butt looked like that.
It could be a pantyhose fart. See if the ankles swell.
looks like he pooooffffttttft out a bat!!!!

This is perfect english.
engrish.com FAIL
Sense of humor FAIL. This is, after all, engrishFUNNY.com. So not only did you miss the funny, you misidentified this web site. Statement DOUBLE FAIL.
OMS! i’m sick
OMS? Is that what you hear when you’re around a thousand chanting Hindu monks?
Nah, it’s wat you get after you beat the H out of a resistor.
Electronics component WIN!
Then it’s incapacitated.
…and you can kilohms doing that!
If I point out your dreadful puns, I suppose you’ll tell me that resistance is useless? *sigh*
No, I’ll conductor search for a better reply.
or else charge for it…
Let the dr take a pico that.
*sigh* another thread gone to pot…
What LED you to that conclusion?
yotta nother pun run
Atto boys all around.
I’ll eat some chips and watch you guys get clonked
You will be a witness to battery. And it could be terminal!
that’s shocking..!
You could rectify the situation if you re-fuse to allow it.
Wire you all quitting so soon?
where ever i gauss the same thing happens
Allow me to relay this to all of you.
*clonk*
For whatever rosin the world is in flux, i’ll solder on.
Heavy metal anarchists have left me with no leaders, so I’ll solder on alone.
Well, that went on Faraday or so!
We could plug away at it for a while longer, or switch to another subject. Watt do you say?
won’t that be re-volting?
I’m trying to leave, but I can’t find my adjustable cap.
You left it next to your tuner sandwich.
How would you all like to receiver ‘nother clonk?
ok, shall we wait in the reception?
The tuner sandwich needs more mayo so I don’t choke on it.
Are all of the seeds out of the cherries, or do I need a pi filter?
you need a pee filter
Cherry pits will break a tooth out of a comb filter.
Are you guys as amped as I am to see another pun-run?
Yes, but the Dreadful Pun Hell fairy wants to socket to us all. Wait till you meter! You’ll have a FET!
This pun run has left a read bad taste in my mouth. Where’s the Scope?
It’s disappeared without a trace.
it reappeared in outer space
Oh well. Just goes to show all things are transistory.
I’m looking for the rapid transit bus to outer space. Some one called and said my scope was in the lost and found.
I wish you luck, because if you can’t trace your scope, you won’t be able to flyback.
Oh silly scope! You could use an ammeter to read its current position.
I would walk, but the siemens sidewalk makes my feet hertz.
Unless you’re wearing flip-flops, you better go Ohm and coulomb.
The day of judgement will come, and one day, I will see you all eat CRO.
No more entries. I don’t think I conduit any more.
OMS! THIS IS MAKING ME SICK!!!!
We heard you the first time.
Oops, I just farted…
Fee fie fo fum! I smell………Aaaaargh!
DnT: I finally replied to your ‘Happy Fun Ball’ query. It’s still on the ‘Your Yacks Currently’ list if you’re interested.
Thanks for the link, but apparently we’re not allowed to see that clip over here (?????) I wish one of our TV networks would screen SNL. It would have to be funnier than Letterman!
FYI My query was based on a Lijit search on ‘Happy Fun Ball’ which me got 2 hits. I thought you were referring to an earlier post.
Too bad! (Click for the script, at least.) Yes, it did fit even better with that earlier Engrish pic, but I was not aware of it when I posted.
I see why you mentioned that sketch. Its like something the Python crew could have done.
Maybe if they served less fart-inducing food, they wouldn’t have such a problem.
umm…. did anyone else notice that this sign is fake? the picture is hand drawn and then stuck on it.
New Emoticon!
3<}
Very good! Meaning?
1 The previous comment stinks.
2 I laughed so hard I farted.
3 ………?
3. You have broccoli stuck up Uranus.
LOL!
There are, of course, other possible meanings:
4. You’re about to sit on an ice cream cone.
5. Your have closed eyes, an upturned nose, and a warped grin. (Of course, you don’t see this sign.)
6. Your bracket is bigger than three.
random statement but the lyrics of this songs appear to be “all on board for moo moo land”
and y is my avvy leering at me like a perv?
randomness over
why is the X over the ribs ?? and not the bottom ?
it’s big bird, he’s got a foul odor fetish
I wonder why they had to also draw some butt cheeks to get the point across.
Sounds like they need the product I saw recently in a catalog: “subtle butt”. It is an air filter for your underwear. I kid you not!
