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!
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.
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.
Gosh. This site is certainly not up to your standard. You must be horribly disappointed. You probably shouldn’t visit the site anymore. Seeing the pictures here obviously causes you to think far too much …
oh give it a rest.
Your average Brits, Kiwis and Ozzies are exactly the same.
Anything the ‘funny monkey people’ do sends them into the same fits of laughter.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
it is what it says actually
the top line’s the name of the building

I have to agree. Not only not Engrish, but not even an accurate translation that happens to result in a double entendre or other witticism.
So?

Nah, it amuses me how stupid people can be. Also amuses me how one can “think far too much.”
Point proven.
I’m a living example of someone who thinks far too much, so laugh away. But I say lol first, think later.
Oh dear. I was implying that you can’t think far too much.
I know you were. And that was precisely the point I was contesting.
Half my problems at work come from people who over-think things; the other half from people who under-think them!
I’ll have to think about that…
And prehaps you shouldn’t visit here anymore either.
Read books or something; I doubt your thinking quite enough…
oh give it a rest.

That’s really quite a feat, making a racist, blanket accusation of racism.
And here I thought it was just a validation of the power of fertilizer!
A great source of cheap fertilizer.
Hey, man, No shi…. Oh, wait….
There may be pansies hiding in there, so watch out for girasole.
There’s a joke here about the sun not shining, but I think I’ll pass…
My girasole is way taller than I, not to worry! It would make a great screen for an outhouse.

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

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

It wasn’t bad until the forklift ran over a case of pressurized refills. It was an unrelenting attack on all five senses.
turd blossom
Carl Rove?
I’ve heard of “her s*** don’t stink,” but honestly!
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……..
actually, that was translated correctly
