The bag signifies a forest. The water signifies the trees. In the water, there are organisms that signify the little forest creatures.

There was a thread about this before. The bag with water is to help control mosquitoes, although I have no idea how.

Reminds me of that scene in The Ten Commandments, except that one was with blood.

That's only valid if it's water hot enough to mimic the heat signature of a human body.

Either way, the inane babble on the board next to it makes me think it's "holy water" or something. Put red dye in it and scribble HAIL SATAN in Sharpie on the sign.

I've heard it's for controlling/keeping out flies. I've actually seen it used at restaurants in Texas where they have outdoor patios on which to dine. We all know that a fly doesn't just see one image of something...it sees a whole bunch. Well, supposedly the water reflects their mirror images and makes them see a crap load of flies as an illusion. This, supposedly, causes the real flies to leave because they think there are already a ton of them there.

I know there are lots of "supposedly" statements...it's just what I've been told. In the places I've been that have them, though, I've not seen any flies.

That's my contribution.

wow, rednecks will fall for anything

found this on google

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

i bet the water has to do with either jesus walking on water or turning water to wind

Replace the water with wine, then put a message on the board that says "I'll be back"
