In order to be a Dreadful Pun Hell fairy, I must have a working knowledge of dreadful puns and their perpetration. When you lot do it, it’s dreadful punning. When I do it, it’s further education. *giggle giggle*
I’m kidding. There are a lot of good accordion players. Maybe I should have said “musical saw playing”. I’ve never heard an example of that sounding good!
Yes. Here we’re supposed to “call the authorities” if we find a dead crow or blue jay. This bin would be an effective way of collecting specimens for testing in an area where people are intelligent enough to wash their hands after a “deposit”.
Nursing trick: When wearing latex gloves and needing to dispose of something contaminated or messy, Hold it in your hand and invert the glove over it as you take it off so it is inside of the inside out glove. It makes a neat package to throw away and makes it easier to wash up afterwards.
According to some folks I know at the National Wildlife Health Center, you would be surprised at how many people have no idea WTF a crow is. They were getting calls like “I found a small brown dead bird, is it a crow?”
OK. Where’s the bin for dead pigs?
Srsly, the bird flu hasn’t gone away. It’s just not in news right now. Get your Asian flu shots unless you know a good reason not to.
There’s no such thing as Asian flu shots you idiot. The “Asian flu” pandemic was back in the 1960s.
There is the annual flu shot which has an H1N1, an H3N2, and an influenza B, and there is the H5N1 shot which you can only get if you have a very good reason e.g. you’re a bird flu researcher, work for the OIE, or something else with a high risk of getting H5N1.
Don’t be alarmed, it’s just Thing’s family reunion, and they were having a slide night, which is why they were annoyed when you opened the bin and let the light in.
They’re birds. They’ve been bred for their current purposes. The fact you don’t see them flying doesn’t matter. Oh, and they don’t have lips. Or teeth.
Tom, being so dejected from not catching Jerry, and failing miserably to eat tweetie bird, finally calls it a day and decides to become a scavenger of dead birds.
This is his new clever ploy. If you open the lid, you’ll see two evil, glowing eyes staring back at you a la the cartoons.
In Hong Kong (where I live BTW and where the bin is from Mong Kok to be precise) when they find a dead bird, they have to be careful it didn’t die of avian flu. This bin is just very practical and sensible (and says what it needs to say very precisely).
Many people died in the past in Hong Kong from avian flu, then SARS and now swine flu is here (though it isn’t even 1/2 as bad as SARS). The government needs to be very careful because… here’s the shock… they actually LEARNED from their mistakes. :-0
I think the poster just didn’t understand, so it’s the poster that failed.
In fact, it does mention it’s in a market, and knowing the policy of Hong Kong’s terrible “daily genocide” policy they dispose of the unsold poultry into the bins. Sad.
It is the correct translation.
This is probably part of the Avian Flu containment tactics in a Hong Kong market, and they keep live chickens until someone actually picks it.
So if the chicken dies before they’re being ordered, that’s where they get disposed.
haha it may be funny but this thing does what it says!! it IS for the disposal of dead birds!! don’t ask me why or how but that’s what it says in Chinese too…
You wouldn’t believe how many thoughtless wretches try to dispose of their live ones in here as well.
I promised I’d be at the Robinsons’. They’ve lost nine today.
I feel happy!
I feel happy!
Shut up, you’re not fooling anyone!
NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS! NESS!
I FEEL…. HAPPY…
Can’t you do us a favor?
*looks around*
*THWACKS back of skull*
Right! Here’s your ninepence then!
Monty Python reference WIN!
finnaly
it sez the thing they mean
this is normal english
No, no, only strange ferriners would throw birds in a garbage can.
It HAS TO be Engrish….
(/sarcasm)
Whereas in the civilised Here, we know that the correct thing to do with dead birds is flush them down the toilet. Or is that goldfish?
If it flushes, it goes!
If it doesn’t go you’re going to need this can of lye. It says on the back: “Clears Drains. Guaranteed to dissolve hide, hair, and feathers.”
Not to be used on cute, amusing, endearing little toilet sharks, one hopes?
Have you ever considered a career change and thought about becoming a lutefisk?
Well, I’d be lyeing if I didn’t admit that I’ve been described at times as being quite caustic.
And the basic truth is: you have no shame!
In order to be a Dreadful Pun Hell fairy, I must have a working knowledge of dreadful puns and their perpetration. When you lot do it, it’s dreadful punning. When I do it, it’s further education. *giggle giggle*
Is the doctor compounding Preparation H?
It’s like accordion playing. Knowing how is clever, but actually doing it in public is dreadful!
Are you thinking “Lady of Spain” dreadful or polka dreadful?
I’m kidding. There are a lot of good accordion players. Maybe I should have said “musical saw playing”. I’ve never heard an example of that sounding good!
If mutually consenting adults wish to pun dreadfully in the privacy of their own homes, that’s nobody else’s business (I’m very progressive that way).
Since I’m a virologist my first thought that this was from a chicken farm or a bird flu lab.
Cann Ii tak da bird oot an eate it!?!
I love your user name!
Avian flu is a real issue in eastern and southeastern Asia.
West Nile virus has reduced a lot of bird populations. It is not good for people either.
Yes. Here we’re supposed to “call the authorities” if we find a dead crow or blue jay. This bin would be an effective way of collecting specimens for testing in an area where people are intelligent enough to wash their hands after a “deposit”.

Wow…that’s a fail.
Avian Flu?
C’mon, that’s so 2005!
Update to swine flu!
Well, the dead pig bin is around the corner.
OK. Where’s the bin for dead pigs?
Srsly, the bird flu hasn’t gone away. It’s just not in news right now. Get your Asian flu shots unless you know a good reason not to.
It’s next to the one for shrubberies. Anyone know where I can get a herring?
Ni. I mean, no.
Only red ones around here, sir.
There’s no such thing as Asian flu shots you idiot. The “Asian flu” pandemic was back in the 1960s.
There is the annual flu shot which has an H1N1, an H3N2, and an influenza B, and there is the H5N1 shot which you can only get if you have a very good reason e.g. you’re a bird flu researcher, work for the OIE, or something else with a high risk of getting H5N1.
The bin for dead pigs is a lie…it’s just a package of bacon.
I…I….I’m not dead yet!
I feel fine… I think I’ll go for a walk
There’s your ninepence.
I’m not dead yet, I can dance and I can sing,
I’m not dead yet, I can do the Highland fling…
…I can do the Highland fling…
Don’t forget your underwear.
Nothing’s worn under the kilt.
(It’s all in perfect working order).
I have one of those next to my recycle bin. Comes in real handy as I have cats.
Grammar is okay, so Engrish must be meaning? What does it say originally?
It meant exactly what it said, I failed to see the ‘fail’ here.
I guess someone just found it amusing, that’s all.
It’s from Hong Kong btw.
*looks in bin* AAARRGH! It’s full of hands with the middle fingers extended!!
Don’t be alarmed, it’s just Thing’s family reunion, and they were having a slide night, which is why they were annoyed when you opened the bin and let the light in.
LOL! That’s Brilliant!
Are chickens birds or are they some other weird cross between a reptile and dodo?
They’re birds. They’ve been bred for their current purposes. The fact you don’t see them flying doesn’t matter. Oh, and they don’t have lips. Or teeth.
Tom, being so dejected from not catching Jerry, and failing miserably to eat tweetie bird, finally calls it a day and decides to become a scavenger of dead birds.
This is his new clever ploy. If you open the lid, you’ll see two evil, glowing eyes staring back at you a la the cartoons.
It was Silvester who chased tweetie, not Tom.
tom chased jerry (mouse)
What you don’t see in the photo: This is located outside all KFC’s.
There’s nothing funny about it. That’s what the chinese says exactly. If it was chicken waste (as in KFC) it is not said in the Chinese…
Finally, somewhere for me to dispose of my dead parrots. The guy at the pet store who sold it to me doesn’t believe it’s dead.
Is it still talking?
No, but it does have beautiful plumage
Yank the feathers off and make a hat! Then throw the carcass in the dead bird bin.
Then it will be an ex-parrot, expired and gone to meet it’s maker.
Monty Python WIN!
It’s resting.
Right, it’s resting OR it’s pining for the fjords.
Would you like a slug instead?
Does it talk?
No but it mutters a bit.
Fail!
That makes perfect scene, haven’t you ever heard of avian flu?
Someone remind me what’s wrong with the English here.
Someone remind me what’s wrong with the English here. Or what doesn’t make sense.
nothing, the poster is retarded.
Nothing wrong with this at all.
In Hong Kong (where I live BTW and where the bin is from Mong Kok to be precise) when they find a dead bird, they have to be careful it didn’t die of avian flu. This bin is just very practical and sensible (and says what it needs to say very precisely).

I think the poster just didn’t understand, so it’s the poster that failed.
In fact, it does mention it’s in a market, and knowing the policy of Hong Kong’s terrible “daily genocide” policy they dispose of the unsold poultry into the bins. Sad.
really? how if there’s no death bird?
The translation was correct (that’s really a dead bird disposal in Hongkong), it’s poster’s understanding that failed.
It is the correct translation.
This is probably part of the Avian Flu containment tactics in a Hong Kong market, and they keep live chickens until someone actually picks it.
So if the chicken dies before they’re being ordered, that’s where they get disposed.
It’s for dead birds collection to prevent the bird flu, dumbass
it relly means dead birds.
specifically ded sparrows.
ah is this for avian flu?
or is it just for like unused raw meat? like chicken/turkey et cet?
This sign is actually translated correctly. (It’s worth repeating; most people don’t read nested comments.)
it actually does mean what it says lol
+1 on correct translation. That is exactly what the sign says (from Hong Kong).
haha it may be funny but this thing does what it says!! it IS for the disposal of dead birds!! don’t ask me why or how but that’s what it says in Chinese too…
That is normal, it said “Mong Kok Market” at the right bottom corner. Which there is live chicken for sale >_< (Yes, I live in Hong Kong.)
This should maybe be in fail blog, it is not Engrish.
