[POLL] - Where's the Bubbler?

Well, I guess it's more of a Midwest thing and originated because the original ones just had water that bubbled straight up from the hole that you drank out of and the name stuck.

bub·bler ( P ) Pronunciation Key (bblr)

A drinking fountain.

See, Water Fountain I have a problem with. A water fountain could just be the naked stone chick in the park spitting water from her mouth or whatever or any other type of fountain. But Drinking Fountain at least specifies that you drink out of it.
 
You're in Wisconsin, its a bubbler. That's all we know. Although we do make an effort to help outsiders find water when needed, the appropriate name is indeed 'bubbler.'

If you ask me where the water fountain is, I might point you to the big thing in the park.
