V.P. Can't Read Signs -

[packman]

[Adrahil]

1. Gawd told him it was fine.

You aren't questioning Gawd, are ya?

[The Blue Flower]

2. Signs are for the little people

nt

[justhanginon]

3. Only reads really big signs like burning bushes and floods

and sh*t like that. None of this secular stuff, that's for all the heathens.

[Achilleaze]

4. IOKIYAR*

* It's OK if you're a republican.

[joshdawg]

82. Now he says it was a dare by rubio.

I smell bullshit!

[Baitball Blogger]

5. HEAL!

[underpants]

17. Yes!

Just what I was thinking

[Ilsa]

59. Now bring on the snakes! nt

[WinkyDink]

6. This action actually is revealing of the outlaw (literally) world-view of rich Republicans.

[HAB911]

7. NEVER let him near a missile silo

[MoonRiver]

8. How much radiation did the fool just put into his body?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. None. Radiation radiates.

Radioactive things that can be transferred by touch, such as powders, are protected by shielding.

The reason for the sign is that touching can transfer skin oils and acids to the surface and disturb the finish which appears to be critical for mission success.

[KG]

9. as i've often found, repubs / xtians often think rules are for others, not them.

[Scarsdale]

83. A dumb person running for office

seems to automatically join the republican party. It is SO much easier than trying to pretend to be smart for the democratic party. Plus, all the other dumbasses accept you, unconditionally. Look who their "LEADER" is!! Look at who their leader sends in to take his place at the table with world leaders!!

[Nitram]

10. Shut up, you heathen! The VP is healing the space hardware.

[underpants]

18. LOL

[calimary]

38. ROFL!

He'll make some inevitable reference to God or "under Heaven" or some such. He adds that in at EVERY opportunity. Appears, once again, to be busy doing the "noisy gong and clanging cymbal" thing - as Paul the Apostle put it in 1Corinthians.

1 Corinthians 13New International Version (NIV)

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

11. Pence did not get where he is today by acknowledging your "objective reality."

In his timeline, the sign says, "touch if you are good and wise."

[Hugin]

12. Wonka would send him away without a prize...

Now, why can't we?

[forgotmylogin]

45. (cue Oompas)

Little Mike Pence
Was so blame dense
He couldn't resist a touch!
The toxins, see
Found in au-top-sy
Proved ultimately too much!

[Hugin]

47. "Doopity Doo Doo Doo Doo"

[forgotmylogin]

63. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A VICE PRESIDENT

FROM INDIANA SENT
TO MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD REPENT?
WHO CAN'T EVEN SIT WITH A LADY FRIEND TO DINE
NO PICNICS ON THE GRASS
SO HE WON'T GRAB HER--

(Okay, stopping now! Sorry.)

Doopity DOO!

[Hugin]

70. Doopity Dee!

Encore! Encore!

[WhiteTara]

13. Like all Republicons, he doesn't think

that instructions are meant for him. He's special, you know!

[Volaris]

15. There is no image that better summarizes ALL of Deplorable Red America.

All humans possess the potential for evil, thats why we have both the concept of forgivness AND a justice system. But this level of stupid is not only special, but absolutely INEXCUSABLE.

Jeezus what a complete fucking idiot.

[lark]

16. News flash - VP is just about as big an idiot as his boss!

Disgusting pigs, both of them.

[underpants]

19. No Mr. Pence, it's not wet cement

[Moostache]

20. Caption: "Is this where we put the Jesus fish?" (n/t)

[Plucketeer]

78. Perfect!

<-Pence

[underpants]

21. This Far Side immediately came to mind

[brooklynite]

22. How else will he know where it came from?

[trusty elf]

23. Noli me tangere

[smirkymonkey]

24. He didn't get the name "Mike Dense" for nothing.

[Butterflylady]

25. Yep

1 fry short of a happy meal.

[kairos12]

26. You can't fix stupid.

[BamaRefugee]

27. How many dead astronauts

when that critical part fails during lift-off?

[JBoy]

28. Seen this before

[hawy]

29. That explains it!

Now I understand why he can't be alone with a woman other than his wife, he has uncontrollable hands!

[DetlefK]

30. Just a few memes based on this:

Link to tweet

[Hugin]

48. And... With that, Shauna won the Internet.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

58. Great catch! Explains two things with one tweet! . . . . nt

[Sneederbunk]

31. "But it doesn't glow like Donnie's orb."

[GallopingGhost]

32. Like his boss, he thinks

anything with holes is free for the fingering.

[Bob Loblaw]

33. This is why

he can't be alone with a woman.

[itsrobert]

34. "Is this the pussy that Donald said I can grab?"

"I'm confused."

[Botany]

35. Please tell me this is a photoshop

[knightmaar]

36. That's a sarcastic "Do Not Touch"

You can tell by the quotes.

Do Not Touch is different from "Do Not Touch".

[Hugin]

52. Yeah, it's like the "DO NOT EAT" in quotes on silicone desiccant packets.

It means, this is a delicious snack in 5 different languages.

If it wasn't in the quotes it would be like poisonous or something.

[Liberal In Texas]

74. My son works at JSC NASA.

When shit says "Do Not Touch" they aren't making a joke.

I have been on the "private tour" and when you don't touch, you don't touch.

Pence may have screwed something up. He's an idiot.

[Botany]

37. A meme is born

[FiveGoodMen]

39. I'd like him to not read a sign saying "Highly Radioactive. Stay well clear!"

[thesquanderer]

40. They should never have let him near the Hubble telescope. (n/t)

[Hugin]

53. He just touched The Hubble until it needed glasses.

To be fair.

[Yavin4]

41. Maybe he thought that this would make him a super hero. n/t

[lame54]

42. Neither can the republican voter

[Tommy_Carcetti]

43. Clearly he didn't listen to Brandt.

[SunSeeker]

75. Your Photobucket picture disappeared...

Replaced with Photobucket's ransom demand for a $399 fee to allow 3rd party hosting. Same thing happened to all my pics with Photobucket links.

[Atman]

44. I want to believe this, but...

It looks seriously Photoshopped. The hand is huge, totally out of proportion. The shadows are wrong. And even a stupid Republican like Pence isn't going to place his hand on a Do Not Touch sign while dozens of photographers are present. Has anyone authenticated this?

[LeftInTX]

49. It's in the MSM

Here's a snip from Time:

Reuters photographer Mike Brown was there to capture the moment, and people are spreading the snapshot with all the jokes about rule-breaking.

[Atman]

50. Wow.

Every time I think these assholes couldn't sink any lower, they sink lower.

[Gothmog]

46. Pence is a very stupid person

[murielm99]

79. This is the second VP from Indiana

who is as dumb as a box of rocks. We had Quayle, too.

Their Presidents and their party put them in place so the President will not be impeached.

[Buns_of_Fire]

51. Do Not Touch -- but it's okay to tape "Do Not Touch" signs on it?

I think somebody might be pulling somebody's chain, here.

[packman]

54. You get the "Observant Poster" Award

Congrats -





But, from what I've read , the sign was legit

[Buns_of_Fire]

57. Okay, if everyone says so, I'll buy it. Perhaps NASA should have phrased

it in terms more likely to register with Pence: "Thou Shalt Not Touch."

[Bernardo de La Paz]

60. There are two surfaces. Perhaps do not touch the surface not taped. The one Pence touched. . . . nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

64. Fair enough. Introducing NASA sign v2.0:

DO NOT TOUCH
DO NOT TOUCH THE ONE UNDER THIS, EITHER
JUST... JUST... DON'T TOUCH *ANYTHING*, OK?
P.S. God is watching you!

Maybe he was preoccupied wondering what carpet he'll put in the Oval Office. Or maybe he's just a dumbass.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

55. This is a metaphor.

Retweeted by Alt_NASA: https://twitter.com/Alt_NASA

This is a metaphor.

Link to tweet

Someone pointed out that "DO NOT TOUCH" was in quotes. That makes it like "tapes".

[IronLionZion]

56. He's such a maverick rebel that he's resisting government tyranny

[ehrnst]

61. So now his wife can't leave him alone in a room with space junk, either. (nt)

62. Up on USA Today

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/07/07/mike-pence-touches-hardware-labeled-do-not-touch/459298001/

As we might have suspected, it's not a big deal:

NASA spokesman Bob Jacobs said the "do not touch" signs are there as a day-to-day reminder, but noted that in this case, touching the hardware was fine.

"Procedures require the hardware to be cleaned before tiles are bonded to the spacecraft, so touching the surface is okay," Jacobs said in an email. "Otherwise, the hardware would have had a protective cover over it like the thermal heat shield, which was nearby.”

[BigmanPigman]

65. The only thing he learned to read was the "good book" (AKA Bible).

I guess he felt that that book has all the info you need to know in life.

[YOHABLO]

66. It's an example of pathological authoritarianism .. he's too important to follow rules.

[Midnight Writer]

71. Exactly. And he is sending that message to his base. I bet this is an "intentional gaffe".

[Mr. Evil]

67. Just another fucking dumbfuck republican.

[tblue37]

68. He is like the kid who just has to touch the freshky painted surface with the

"Wet Paint" sign.

[SCVDem]

69. So NASA puts up

FAKE SIGNS?

Do you really want to excuse this moron?

Let Pence pull one labeled EJECT!

[47of74]

72. Yeah don't touch

[WinkyDink]

73. OMG! And BWAHAHAHA!

[Hieronymus]

76. Great

[guss]

77. Nasa Grabber

He might be feeling left out of the Trumps Puss# grabber Circle.
Maybe He is just Grabbing Some NASA to be part of the Gang.

[polmaven]

80. He probably thinks he isn't supposed to touch the yellow square

Since there is an arrow pointing up...After all, is there really anything someone as great as he is can't make even better just by touching it??

[PatrickforO]

81. He really is kinda...

dumb...

Isn't he?

[Initech]

84. Is Peter Griffin running the show now?

[thesquanderer]

85. Probably a graduate of Trump University. (n/t)

[wolfie001]

86. White-headed imbecile

I bet his IQ hovers around 92 or so. What a biblical jackass.
