Here's some good ones...Really makes you wonder why in the hell people find this nescesary...

"Warning: May contain small parts." -- On a frisbee.

"Do not recharge, put in backwards, or use." -- On a battery.

"Do not use for drying pets." -- In the manual for a microwave oven.

"For use by trained personnel only." -- On a can of air freshener.

"Keep out of reach of children and teenagers." -- On a can of air freshener

"Warning: Riders of personal watercraft may suffer injury due to the forceful injection of water into body cavities either by falling into the water or while mounting the craft." -- In the manual for a jetski.

"Warning: Do not climb inside this bag and zip it up. Doing so will cause injury and death." -- A label inside a protective bag (for fragile objects), which measures 15cm by 15cm by 12cm.

"May be harmful if swallowed." -- On a shipment of hammers.

"Not dishwasher safe." -- On a remote control for a TV.

"Do not put lit candles on phone." -- On the instructions for a cordless phone.

And my all time favorite...this makes no sense whatsoever

Instructions, ingredients...

"Ingredients: Artificially bleached flour, sugar, vegetable fat, yeast, salt, gluten, soya flour, emulsifier 472 (E) & 481, flour treatment agents, enzymes, water. May contain: fruit." -- The
ingredients list on a package of fruit buns.

-- On a pillow.

"Instructions: usage known." -- Instructions on a can of black pepper.

Having worked in a veterinary hospital for years believe it or not there are stupid people who try to try their pets that way! People who shouldn't own pets......or worse yet, have kids!

Because of law suits from huffing.......stupid teens!

This one is my favorite. When I worked in research our rats/mice got cancer from Purina rat/mice chow! I used to tell everyone "What we need are stronger rats!"

Why I hate to fly.....that and the speech they always give about what to do in the case of water "landings" Water Landings, ah, I think its called a CRASH!

Thanks for the laughs Jay! What would our world do without stupid people? Most of those are because some asshole somewhere sued and won because something wasn't put on a label.

I know most of you on this board file the EZ1040 or telefile your taxes ( or just don't pay them, LOL) but on certain itemized forms there is a section to report income from embezzelment! I always wanted to put down some amount in that spot just for the heck of it but didn't want to mess with the minds of the IRS. BTW its there so if someone gets caught embezzeling they are also hit for non-payment of taxes.

My watch stays in my underwear. So when a girl asks me what time it is, I have a good reason to drop my pants.
