A Little Humor to Start Out the Week

We've all seen some pretty crazy warning labels on items in restaurants and stores. Go buy a ladder and you'll see multiple warning labels. And who can forget the "Caution - Hot!" labels on coffee cups from fast food joints. Most of these labels were created because someone sued the retailer or manufacturer, or to prevent a lawsuit in the first place.

This fear of getting sued has created some interesting warning labels. I recently received a book called "Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest, and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever." Here are a few of my favorites from the book:

#3 (on most hair dryers and some curling irons) - Never use hair dryer while sleeping

#11 (on an iron) - Never iron clothes while they are being worn

#13 (on shin guards) - Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover

#21 (on sleep aid medicine) - May cause drowsiness

#30 (on fish hooks) - Harmful if swallowed

#81 (on a Milky Way candy bar) - Contains milk

#93 (on a CD Player) - Do not use the Ultradisc 2000 as a projectile in a catapult or similar hurling mechanism. Use of the Ultradisc 2000 as a projectile can cause personal injury as well as damage to the transport mechanism, and will void the warranty.

You'd be surprised on #11 (don't iron clothes while they are being worn). I've known people who have done this (some were successful, others weren't as lucky).
