"The Bubbler"..... What the flying fuck? - Page 3

**RealSNR** · 02-16-2007, 06:16 PM

I had a student approach me after class on a lecture from last week today. She's from Wisconsin. As I'm finishing up my explanation and walking to the door, she goes, "excuse me, I'm just going to grab a drink from the bubbler."

I look blankly. "The bubbler?"

"Yeah. The bubbler. This thing." She leans over a drinking fountain and takes a sip.

"That's a drinking fountain. Where do you get bubbler from?"

"That's what I've always called it."

Now, I've done some research and apparently people from Wisconsin call drinking fountains "bubblers." Did you all know this? I think this is the most fantastically reeruned thing I've ever heard. There's absolutely nothing bubbly about a water fountain. Why would ANYONE call it a "bubbler" of all things?

I propose a massive deprogramming of all people in Wisconsin. This word must be removed from any trace of this country. Either that, or sell Wisconsin to Canada. Terrorists hate us BECAUSE of this word.

Who agrees with me?
