My fathers car actually has a sticker on the engine bay that says..."Turn off engine before removing fan belt". biggrin.gif

Unfortunately though, these warnings have to be there because nobody these days seems to be willing to take responsibility for their own STUPID actions. And the legal system seems obliged to give them big fat pay-outs for being idiots.

Very true, TO. I recall a few years back some nit spilled fresh coffee on her hand at McD's. Scalded her poor 'ittle paw, she did. Sued ol' Ronald right out of his funky red wig, and Mr. Hamburgler dern near went directly to jail without passing gas or collecting his $200. And that, kiddies, is why we now have warning lables on all our hot drinks from the drive through.

Soon some shmuck will get frostbite on his digits (or other areas) from holding his ice cold soft drink too long, then we will have warning lables on those products, too. A few hints here: 1. Cup holders let you keep both hands on the wheel. 2. Crotches are not cup holders.

I wonder when we will see "Warning: Living Causes Death!" on all the maternity ward rooms. huh.gif

Those were funny!!!!

But if you read the whole article you find out the Mickie D's lawsuit started a new revolution of stupid warnings for stupid people.....

"Most take-away coffee cups now bear a cautionary sign saying: "Hot coffee can be dangerous." Some brands of irons also warn buyers, "Never iron clothes on the body", while a child-sized superman costume was sold with the tag: "Wearing this garment does not enable you to fly.""

Great i guess that superman outfit is useless now sad.gif biggrin.gif
Althalus
nah, just remember to attach the hook to the back of it.

The sad thing is, for all of these warnings, you know people had to have done them (Example: On a tube of toothpaste, the label would say-not for use in eyes *which I am really glad I read, I was ready to give my eyes a quick sweep after I brushed my teeth smile.gif * ) blink.gif unsure.gif biggrin.gif
