Has anyone actually read warning labels? I was thinking about them a while ago. Some seem to be quite funny. But to my real point: why not remove all warning labels from EVERYTHING? I mean, anyone stupid enough to eat a tube of toothpaste deserves whatever karmic justice they recieve. This would easily eliminate the population of stupid people that I see every day. C’mon, do you think the person who is in the ER because they drank Drano should reproduce? Think about it and let me know what you think.
I saw a warning label on a Triumph motorcycle not long since,
Warning turning the throttle can cause severe acceleration ,hold the handlebars in both hands.
Like-er pulling the brake can cause severe deceleration I’d guess too.
OK guys, beat this -
On packets of Tesco’s Tiramisu Dessert here in the UK there is a warning not to turn the packet upside-down. And, yes, the warning is on the underside of the packet.
The Scots - never trust a race whose national dress includes a concealed knife.
How’s this:
On the Ajax Kitchen Cleanser container (you know, like Comet, only the “other brand”), it says, among all the usual “duh” things like “wet the counter” and “test a small area first on marble counters”, it says two things that I have NEVER been able to figure out.
The first one is, “Discard in trash.” As opposed to what? Discarding on the kitchen floor? Not discarding at all, saving them up like McDonalds styrofoam containers?
The other one says, “Do not use empty container.”
–What?
