Rubes by Leigh Rubin for August 12, 2023

The problem is, she has no mouth to drink it.

Old faceful fountain.

Do they still have those in schools and other places? I would’ve thought they’d all been taken out for sanitary reasons.

The problem is that the water is hitting people in the face instead of fountaining over so they can drink it!

Shouldn’t she be laughing?

I wish I’d had a 3D printer in when I was in school. I’d have rigged every water fountain to do exactly this. (Normal bubblers have a cut that prevents this under normal conditions.)

The flower is missing.

Say it, don’t spray it.

She can’t tell you the problem. As Harlan Ellison might have said, she has no mouth and she must scream.
