   The irony is that the “Fire Extinguisher” is a sign…. it’s obvious though.

   Note to self: Don’t hire Alanis Morissette as building inspector. She has no idea about what ironic actually means.

   Heavier than the aluminiumy extinguisher; cheaper than the goldy one; less toxic than the leady alternative. And so on.

    The irony is there is no fire extinguisher, just a note that says “only you can prevent forest fires.”

    1. In case of fire use irony.
    2. In case of irony use fire extinguisher.

    For those fires that start after somebody says, “Man, nothing ever happens around here.”

    Puts out fire in seconds, but learning to operate it may take hours!

    The one we have is brass. The foam chemicals kept corrodiing the irony one.

    query: the usual Chinese term for fire extinguisher is 滅火器, literally, extinguish fire device. This sign says 抬龍, lift-up dragon, a charming phrase, but one I have never heard (or been able to find on google). Is that Zhejiang dialect, or maybe Shanghainese?

    put it by a swimming pool and the sign may make some sense

    Putting out fires with fire extinguishers is too mainstream, so hipsters use them ironically.

    Oh, this one is heck to explain.

    Tie-Ze, the first two characters, is literally “made of iron”. So I guess that’s where “irony” came from. (No, that’s one of the words you can’t add ‘y’ to make an adjective!)

    Tai-Long… that’s apparently what Mainland Chinese call a firehose. (Literally: table dragon)

    And if that doesn’t work, you have to break out the sarcastic fire hose.
