Shouldn't that dog be doing "what dogs doo"? But I guess that is NSFW... but then neither is the water!

Terrific!
My favorite Triumph quote - after Tom Arnold stated that he had a show on "the WB."
"The WB ... I have worms in my stool with shows on the WB!"

The first image that popped into my mind when the topic came up was a Tenniel illustration from Alice in Wonderland, where she is holding a bottle with a tag that says, "Boil Me" rather than "Drink Me."
And when I turned on the news and first heard them talking about a Boil Alert and restaurants I thought it had something to do with a substance that was causing boils on patrons.
Why can't they call it what it is? A Drinking Water Contamination Alert affecting such and such areas?
Our local Starbucks closed early because they weren't even allowed to serve espresso drinks which are heated to 120 degrees.
Glad this thing was "over" quickly but I'm still puzzled as to why Mr. Leonard didn't climb up on top of a reservoir or otherwise make his presence felt on the matter . . .

I, too, was amused by an espresso joint closing during a 'boil water alert'...gosh, they might have to boil water!

Triumph's catch phrase is the same as the intent of some folks with financial interests in our water system. And I don't mean "I keed, I keed!" (Oh, just go Google it!)

Wait, that's MY Rottweiler!
What's he doing wearing that bow tie, he won't even wear the Christmas bells with matching cuff links.
Must be the nicotine.
