It's one of the first rules of elementary school: do not assume drinking fountains work properly. You push the button knowing the risk.

The dilemma when you get a stain on your clothes during school (or work, for that matter) is: do you just accept that your clothes have a stain now, or do you try to wash it into relative invisibility in the bathroom, and risk walking around with wet clothes? At least, that was my dilemma. Maybe, like Millie, I just never learn.

Its a joke from later in the comic. I have successfully spoiled it for you.

School drinking fountains have weird water pressure problems. I've seen some where you barely get any water at all, and some where it shoots a high-pressure stream, and once one that usually did the former but sometimes did the latter and hit you a lot harder than you thought it would.

Ah, I see, yes I have experienced that. Never understood why, also some water fountains never seemed to get coolwater, or had a VERY disgusting taste.
