Sad that it is necessary to have to put such warnings on things, but sometimes peoples is so stoopid.
Imagine McDonald's surprise when they lost a multi-million dollar lawsuit because an old woman didn't realize the coffee she spilled in her lap would be hot. I'm firmly planted in denial |

How funny... I was in line this past weekend and the man in front of me turns around and has this funny look on his face. He then points to this bag of charcoal that is leaning on the counter in front of him. I look at it and across the top is a warning... it said:
WARNING Burning charcoal indoors may kill you. Use caution when burning charcoal in automobiles and tents. The first sentence is enough... but the rest!? Use caution when burning charcoal in a car or a tent!? WTF!? | |

No... but he bought me one of those chocolate covered cherries that are at the check-out. Handed it to me and told me to have a great day. Then, the guy at the check-out rang my stuff up and I handed him my money and he handed my money back to me and told me it was on him today! I was like... WTF again... Maybe I should have went and looked at cars that day, eh? | |
