"Follow the Signs, Open Your Eyes..."
"Do not try to stop chain with your hands." (Found on warning label on certain chain saws.)
"Listen and look for moving blades before removing shield." (Found on mowers and farm equipment.)
"Do not use this for personal hygeine." (Found, where else?!, on a toilet bowl brush!)
"Check all answers that apply." (Directions on English test that I took Tuesday. D-:)

Oh the stupid things people try to do now days! You're right Paul, how CAN people say we're getting better and better!!
Some people search for loopholes; others search for hidden meanings.
What's even more unfortunate is that these warnings are neccesary. Those labels are purely for the purpose of saving the company from unneccesary lawsuits. I can guarantee that there would be somebody so ridiculous as to try to stop a chainsaw chain with his hands in order to make a sweet million or so out of a lawsuit.
Bah! Humbug!
I can't believe you didn't catch that part about ALL on the English test! Those other warnings are for the English majors, and other 'use challenged' people. I like the one on the steam iron, "Do not iron clothes while wearing them." Hang in there and read it all.
OK Tom, I'll have to assume that you guys are either English majors or just 'use challenged' individuals. Some folks really need to have handlers so they won't hurt themselves. Well, maybe! It must have worked out OK.
Truthseeker, you should win a prize. You are the only one who commented heavily on the fourth comment, which has a hidden meaning. (Maybe a free CD by AHQ, from AHQ!)
So truthseeker has a problem with English majors, huh?
