But then again, you must realize that if they did not put those warnings, then people could sue because they were not warned of the hazards (even if the warning is pointless).

Hrny:That one is no joke. It's the DXM and mixed with alcohol that creates the danger. In large amounts of each it becomes a potentially deadly nerve toxin. Google it and see.

Oh yeah and on one of my bow's manuals, it says not to point the bow at yourself, cause it's dangerous. How do you point and draw a bow at yourself?

This isn't really a safety label but its a funny sign.

Its not quite the same, but in Belfast (around Pottingers entry, if you care) theres a big sign just outside the public toilets: "Unauthorised dumpers will be prosecuted". I laugh every time I pass it, I should really take a photo.
What if you can't hold it in??
Oh, another one I just remembered (as your leaving Newtownards headed for Comber, again, if you care) when the foot and mouth outbreak happened, there was a hand painted sign which read "Please come in no animals here". I'm guessing there was meant to be a comma or something...I hope.

For an Iron of some shit, and all the others a damn stupid like this too.
