When posting a sign indicating that the water obtained from a public source is not potable, you may want to keep in mind that the kind of person who would be trying to drink from that source in the first place probably won't know what "potable" means, but will probably just slurmur* to himself, "Well, it don' matter if it ain't potable. I don' wanna take it nowheres anyway."
* Yes, I made up this word. You can figure it out. Just put on your drinking cap.
Not potable?
I thought that meant, "not suitable for use in a water bong."
Thomas, Token Fella actually told me that "impotent" joke (or whatever it's called!) a while ago, and I stared at him with a blank face enhanced only by an eyebrow raise. So he doesn't think that response was particular to his case, please know that I'm sitting here responding the same way to your comment.

Just the other day my doctor said I was impotent, so I bought a big car and a fancy suit cause if I gona be impotent, I better looks impotent.
(Seriously, exactly how successful would a bottled water be if it had a smiley face on it and a slogan "Now 100% potable!")
Offered by: Thomas on January 18, 2008 12:07 PMVery punny!
But the water smelled like rotten eggs and tasted like sulphur.
(I know what sulpher tastes like because someone once dared me to lick the edge of a pool in yellowstone national geyser park. And you know how I like a good dare... My tongue still tingles from the scarring.)
