Welcome to our tuff. Notice there's no S in it.

Strong Bad's "Welcome to our 'ool" sign is a parody of a popular "Pool Rules" sign that states "Welcome to our ool. Notice there's no 'P' in it. Let's keep it this way."

Arguments for:

  • Re arg against: It's relatively obscure.
  • Re arg against: It's not likely that this would be inferred.
  • I certainly didn't get the joke until it was explained. Keep it.
  • There's no other reason why the P would be missing.

Arguments against:

  • This fact explains the joke too much.
  • Re arg for: It's a pretty common sight at pools.
  • Re arg for: While people may not know about the existence of the sign in real life, they could reasonably infer this.

Additional comments:

  • At least, it's obscure enough that I'd never heard it before.
  • I've swum and a lot of pools, and I've never seen it.
    • Just because you've never seen it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. MY own pool used to have that very same sign spoke of here, and it's OBVIOUSLY a reference. Plus, I worked in a Pool Store and we sold a few that had jokes like that on it.
      • I mean that since I've never seen it, I don't think it's a common sight and should therefore be explained.
  • I'm hesitant to vote to accept not because the sign isn't real (it's definitely real), but because it explains the joke.
    • On the other hand, it is a bona-fide real-world reference, as the sign existed long before this email, and therefore should be mentioned.
  • Explaining the joke is very necessary, trust me. And it didn't make it any less funny, at least not for me.
  • Can someone explain the original joke to me? I don't understand what's the significance of 'P'.
    • Well, you asked for it. "P" = "pee" = "to urinate". Get it? Like, don't pee in our pool, man. After all, we don't swim in your toilet.
  • For those who live in countries where english isn´t the native language it is a good reference since we don't have this sign around. (Altough we get the word play of P=pee without having it explained to us.)
    • I'm not suggesting we explain it, but the person who asked the question right above you apparently didn't get it.
