**Gets out her Staple Gun and Posts a sign on the Wall** NEW DU RULES......

1. Damn.

So it has come down to 'cruelly punished'.

[Phentex]

2. Well, *I'll* let the jury be the judge of that!

There's your cruelty!

[hlthe2b]

3. Ahh, come on... just a peak?

[HopeHoops]

4. I can't even guess what that was SUPPOSED to say.

[Boojatta]

27. Two different possibilities ...

Possibility #1:

It is forbidden to open this door! You are not to walk through the doorway. Anyone who violates the rule will be severely punished!

Possibility #2:

Whatever you might wish to open, the door won't permit you to open it. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but you aren't allowed to take that step near the door. The above prohibitions are to be considered a single regulation (enacted pursuant to a statute that will remain nameless), and we admit that we feel it is necessary for us to violate the Geneva Convention by making cruel punishment the penalty for violation of the regulation.

[HopeHoops]

29. But when we got to the police officer's station, there was a 3rd possibility we hadn't considered...

It could also mean that whoever translated it to English didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing.

[Denninmi]

5. Cruel punishment, indeed.

Violators will be strapped to a chair in the Lounge Town Square, their eyes will be propped open, and they will be forced to watch every single Republican debate from start to finish.

They'll be begging for mercy in 2 minutes. Thus proving that punishment CAN be used as a deterrent for others.

6. A clockwork red

OMG! Not the Republican Debates!!!11!

23. Technically speaking, the Ludivico Technique involves reform more than punishment.

7. This entire thread is a DUzy!

So much for cruel punishments!

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. What about if we are to be walking TO the door?

That just says from. I bet being to is okay. Yes?

[LynneSin]

9. Just do not walk from the door

Unless you want the cruel punishment

[Arugula Latte]

17. In Soviet Union, door opens you.

[HappyMe]

10. To be safe,

don't even LOOK at the door.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. It is probably from the same makers as "Happy Fun Ball".

[MicaelS]

11. Reminds me of a sign I saw a long time ago in a bar

Walkers will be prosecuted.

I had to ask the waitress what it meant. It meant

"Check" Walkers will be prosecuted.

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. There is a sign in the restroom of the store I work at that says "Please Wash Hand"...

I figure most people alternate with the washing.

[Arugula Latte]

15. What is the sound of one hand washing?

[HappyMe]

19. Or just another way of saying-

'Get your ass back to work, pronto!'

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. 'Cruelly punished'? 'Staple gun'? Count me in!!! Where's that door?

[Arugula Latte]

16. These dogs found the cruel, punishing, forbidding door:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. ...

[csziggy]

21. Those dogs need lessons from Simon's cat

[pacalo]

20. That sign is actually encased at the George W. Bush Liberry because it was the one

he failed to read at this historical preznential moment:

[csziggy]

22. So when will he be cruelly punished?

I'm waiting.....

[pacalo]

25. For most people, just BEING George W. Bush would be cruel punishment.

[csziggy]

26. Too true

If I woke up one day and was W, I'd blow my brain out. Though it would be a challenge to hit that one cell.

[beac]

24. You know what's cruel?

The poor period lost its job to a comma in the translation between English and Chinese.

Just a simple punctuation mark trying to warn people of the imminent danger of punishment and along comes some upstart with a flashy tail and, faster than you can not walk from the door, period is cast aside like yesterday's ink spot.

[graywarrior]

28. Define cruel punishment

Spanking? I hope!

[HopeHoops]

30. Naughty, naughty, naughty.

Why didn't I think of that?

[HappyMe]

31. Nah. Cruel would be telling us

that spankings are on the way, and then they never happen.

[graywarrior]

32. Like St. Michael's Grammar School in the 60's
