I need MNer Wisdom for a toilet slogan

Soooo we have nearly finished our harry potter themed bar in the house. We have a toilet in which we want to rig up to a bell because people will inevitably try and flush it and have to drink a shot, but it needs a warning and curiosity always kills the cat.....

So far we've come up with

You rang the bell, now you're going to hell..... Report to the bar for your potion spell.....

I love Harry Potter but this sounds very full on. Is it a working toilet? Why do they have to drink a shot if they flush it? What is the bell for? to announce they've used the actual WC!? If so that seems a bit awkward! What's the connection to Harry Potter with this? (other than presumably some vague moaning myrtle flooding toilet reference)? Definitely don't recall them taking shots in the girls bathroom at Hogwarts each time they did a wee but granted it's been some years since I actually reread the books.

So many questions...

Would love to see a picture of the bar in general though OP, sounds fun.

Are you on glue?

Aposterhasnoname · 06/09/2022 12:42

Hang on, what do you mean “try and flush it” are you saying they shouldn’t flush!

This is really weird

CaramelTwirl · 06/09/2022 12:43

Wot?

Elieza · 06/09/2022 12:44

So you don’t flush if you don’t want a drink???? That won’t go well for visitors who are driving home lol!

MassiveSalad22 · 06/09/2022 12:44

So confused!

CaramelTwirl · 06/09/2022 12:47

Is it a working toilet? Or a wacky and crazy prop?

ohidoliketobe · 06/09/2022 12:47

I think OPs toilet has a genuine functioning flush, but there's a trick decoy bell which if someone presses thinking it's the flush they are shot fined.
OP I think your ryhme is fine, bit where would you put the sign? As if they read it they'll know something is amiss with your decoy bell?
I honestly couldn't be bothered, but your house

Best use of this question I have seen!

ThatWillBeAll · 06/09/2022 13:25

Yes, people do try to flush toilets.

GucciBear · 06/09/2022 13:25

Have you been in the bar all morning?

On the money saving thread there a suggestion that you don’t flush your toilet until the end of the day ( ie once per day) irrespective of what’s in it! Maybe this is the same poster 😂

"You rang the bell, now you're going to hell..... Report to the bar for your potion spell....."

Are you sure this is a warning sign? Surely this is what people would see AFTER they'd rung the bell?

Also this whole thing is beyond confusing

nutellachurro · 06/09/2022 13:30

Yeah I'd not go with that little rhyme

As hell wasn't a big feature in HP

And it's not 'potion spell' it's just a potion

God why am I giving brain space to this Grin

Wontletmeusemynormalname · 09/09/2022 16:48

Erm OK not quite the responses in which I was anticipating. The toilet is not functioning, it's actually doubled up as the storage for card games if you lift the lid.

And how is it connected to HP?? I don't think I need to answer that but here's a picture.

It's also an actual seat within the room but the handle is still connected to the cistern contents.... Everyone who's been in has tried to flush it..... Hence why we wanted to make a Forfeit out of it....

I’m so confused. You have a toilet as a chair? Why?

Antarcticant · 09/09/2022 16:53

You flush your motion, you drink our potion.

Harry potter themed bars are quirky... I think this is genius!! 🤣 Until some drunken guy tries to use it for its proper intended uses.....

SandieCollins · 09/09/2022 16:58

Well exactly! I think I’m not the intended audience.

Anamechangeisasgoodasarest · 09/09/2022 17:12

The toilet is not functioning, it's actually doubled up as the storage for card games if you lift the lid.

So WHY are people trying to flush it?

They go into a room that has a toilet - presumably they want to use the toilet.
They lift the lid and see that it is for card storage.

Normal response would be "oops, this isn't an actual toilet, I'll go and find the real one"

Are they pissing on the cards?

Otherwise WHY IN GOD'S NAME would they be trying to flush it?

I don't flush toilets that I haven't used.
