  1. ... says:

    it is what it says actually
    the top line’s the name of the building

  2. TheCannyScot says:

    The name for the particular pong in a perfume lab is mille fleurs, meaning a thousand flowers. It’s unpleasant, but not nasty. Ten thousand flowers boggles the imagination!

    • dr handle says:

      They don’t specify what *type* of flowers. If its violets or roses, then the smell will be a bit Nanna, if it’s jasmine or honeysuckle, the smell may be a bit cloying, but if it’s the Titan Arum (corpse flower), well, we’ll just have to nuke that facility from orbit.

  3. This site is getting worse and worse says:

    Not engrish. Clearly pointing at the building AND where the toilet is. Guarantee it was an American that spotted this, and Americans that will think it’s funny.

  4. JohnB says:

    And here I thought it was just a validation of the power of fertilizer!

  5. A Noun says:

    A great source of cheap fertilizer.

  6. Droll not Troll says:

    There may be pansies hiding in there, so watch out for girasole.

    • TheCannyScot says:

      There’s a joke here about the sun not shining, but I think I’ll pass…

    • bluejade says:

      My girasole is way taller than I, not to worry! It would make a great screen for an outhouse.

      • dr handle says:

        What’s a girasole? My immediate thought was that it was a giraffe’s sit-upon, which would certainly be taller than most people, but now I’m thinking maybe it is some sort of flower?

        • blueJade says:

          Aka ” jerusalem artichoke,” member of the sunflower family (helianthus), grown not for seed but for edible tubers. Drought tolerant and native to the americas. High in beneficial fiber and useful for controlling diabetes. I have seen them grow through pavement cracks in an abandoned filling station, it looked very poignant… they bloom like sunflowers.

          • Droll not Troll says:

            Wow! The scent of all the flowers must have masked the smell of my pun.
            I grow jerusalem artichokes, too. (I can’t take all the credit- Plant a tuber, and you might need to nuke the garden to stop them!) They’re good to eat, IMO, but ten thousand scented flowers would be handy to cover up the after-effects.

            • blueJade says:

              It’s that “beneficial fiber.” The pansies can fend for themselves. Wimps!

            • dr handle says:

              Maybe we were treating your dreadful pun with the ignore it so richly deserves…
              You can prepare your own artichokes – they are a a pain in the proverbial to prepare, very fiddly and prickly and time-consuming. You might as well just eat beans and be done with it.

              • Droll not Troll says:

                Jerusalem artichokes are not prickly! The tubers are the edible part, not the buds as with “real” artichokes.
                I don’t spend too much time on preparation with either- just wash (or scrub, in the case of the tubers) and simmer until cooked. If you have trouble with prickles on the globe artichokes, they weren’t picked young enough.

                • blueJade says:

                  I just roast them with other vegies (potatoes, peppers, onions and olive oil, that sort of thing) Sometimes I sear them in the broiler, they cook fast. Dark on the outside and chewy on the inside! They get very sweet with this treatment… or you can throw them in stir-fry.

                  • dr handle says:

                    Oh, ‘k, I could probably cope with those, then. I could probably even grow them if they’re that robust, although at the moment anything I plant is likely to die violently of teenage German Shepherd.

  7. laconejita says:

    Maybe it’s called Chamber of Ten thousand Flowers, because the toilet is outdoors with the flowers.

    wipe with a rock.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      That’s not how I get my rocks off. There must be some nice, soft leaves around here somewhere.
      This could be the House at Pooh Corner.

  8. dr handle says:

    Could this be a warning that you are about to walk into a public facility that uses one of those appalling “air fresheners” that in fact consist of toxic waste from the nearest chemical processing plant, and smells much worse than anything a human body could possibly produce?

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      It wasn’t bad until the forklift ran over a case of pressurized refills. It was an unrelenting attack on all five senses.

  9. Big W. says:

    turd blossom

  10. notolaf says:

    I’ve heard of “her s*** don’t stink,” but honestly!

  11. akku aaa says:

    Oh my god! That’s great, Where is this toilet in which I can find ten thousand flowers because I am looking some flowers for gardening……..

  12. Moose says:

    actually, that was translated correctly
