LMAO!

I find it funny that if you read the box for the toy Lite Bright, that it says something about electrocution, and not the fact that a kid could swallow the pieces.

AtlantaBravesFan29 · 01-06-2005, 02:32 PM

Those are funny.

Here are some others:

From a bottle of shampoo: "Wet hair,apply shampoo,lather and rinse thoroughly. REPEAT if desired." What are they thinking about there?

Shaving cream instructions: "Do not store at temperatures above 120 degrees." Where in the world does it get above 120 degrees?

It can get over 120 degrees in Texas. I'm just kidding. I agree though, the shampoo one is really ridiculous.

Death Valley got up to 134 degrees many years ago, so it CAN happen.
If we ever go to Mercury we would have a problem.

The sad thing is there are really stupid people who need to read the warning labels.

um ya, no matter how little common sense it takes to figure out things like that the companies are required to put warnings on things that can be dangerous if misused so they don't get sued. let alone some of those are along the lines of stupid things everyone does.

the REALLY sad thing is that a lot of times someone actually tried some of those stupid things, FORCING companies to add those labels.

When we had all that snow around Christmas, they had to actually have doctors come on the local news to REMIND people NOT to stick their hands into the BLADES of running snow-blowers to clear them out - apparently the area emergency rooms were getting overwhelmed by local idiots that had recently been relieved of their fingers.

What's wrong with that one? Other than the fact that you wouldn't have to wet your hair again? I sometimes wash my hair twice in the same shower...

James"Thunder"Early · 01-06-2005, 10:16 PM

These warnings seem and are stupid, but the companies are protecting themselves from lawsuits from stupid people.

Brent88 · 01-06-2005, 10:24 PM

I love the one on just about anything frozen... "cook before eating".

Infact, I just got out of the shower, where I shampooed my hair 3 times.
