Abstract
We construct a simple toy model and explicitly demonstrate that the Balance Function (BF) can become negative for some values of the rapidity separation and hence can not have any probabilistic interpretation. In particular, the BF can not be interpreted as the probability density for the balancing charges to occur separated by the given rapidity interval.
