Heard a comedian, "On a ladder it says 'Do noy eat', I think if someone eats a ladder they deserve whatever happens to me.".I have not personally seen such a notice, but I almost believe it, some things are just too stupid to make up.
But I have seen signs that said "School crossing". I don't know anout you, but in these part when they put up a school it stays put. I have never seen one cross the road. But really if you do see a school cross the road, stop and let it go across, to do ptherwise would damage your car.
"Road work ahead" , you really have to appreciate that they put that sign there instead of athe end of the stretch undergoing construction, and there they put one that says "End construction", I just can't resist saying out loud, even alone "I'm for that". This is Ohio and we got two seasons here. Construction, construction that they can't do because of the weather, and frigid, when nobody cares because most of don't leave the house unless it is a matter of life and death. Actually the signs at the state lines say it all "This is Ohio, prepare to stop, and stop, and stop, and stop. Well I guess I can see why they don't have that sign.
Actually I guess you missed my post in humopr about toasters. Well one particulaer new toaster. Reading the manual of course it says to plug it in only to a 120 volt 60 Hz outlet with sufficient current capacity. It goes on to say that this should always be a three prong propely grounded outlet. But get this, it does not have a three prong plug !
Oh,and that's not all, it goes on to warn the user that handling the AC cord exposes the user to lead. Well it's made in China, what did you expect ? It also warns that you should not allow children or pets to chew on the AC cord for obvious reasons, I think if your kids are chewing on the toaster cord maybe you should make them some toast ? Or something, damn.
Now that I think of it, doesn't lead conduct elecricity ? In that light do you think it wise to put it in the insulation of electrical wires ? Beam me up Scotty.
You know my position on health and disease. Got this multi-mineral supplement, a super supplement, says it can cause a diabetic to lose insulin resistance. Excuse me but doesn't that generall mean that you are less diabetic ? I agree that it should be there, but they preface it with WARNING !
I mean of shit can negatively affect someone's tolerance to massive doses of insulin, they should stay away from it ? HA.
On keyboards (for PCs) "WARNING : Use of this product may cause wrist and hand problems and may result in carpal tunnel syndrome" , something to that effect. IT might say "Or other health problems" , but I am sure you have seen it.
Well now they got V shaped keyboard, pads etc., all that and the are touted as being able to reduce carpal tunnel syndrome, but the sticker it still there, "May cause carpal tunnel sydrome".
And I need to touch on drugs. Oh boy, I am surprised nobody has latched onto this as of yet. It is so ridiculous. Viagra is close to being off the market. Ciallis is very similar. Both can cause blindness. I know two guys who have used it not for ED, but to enhance their sexual stamina. Is that worth your eyesight ? Talk about "You'll go blind", and "Can I just do it until I need glasses ?". That one takes on a whole new meaning doesn't it ?
But if you want something ridiculous, try this :

Look at the bottom where it gives the side effects. That page is a joke and was meant to be, but life is catching up to jokes it seems. Yes you can grow hair, but do not even come into contact with any Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Wait a minute, why did you want hair in the first place ? Was it because you wanted to buy smaller hats ?
It really is getting ridiculous, but I do not want to dwell on drugs, so I won't.
Hey, that brake pedal in your car, did you read what it is used for in the owner's manual or did you just jump in and drive ? Foolish, to not realize that we need to be told everything is very intrepid. And the ironic thing is that nowadays, that is correct.
