Silly warnings
Warnings exist for a reason – to protect us from harm. Or, at least, that used to be the idea. These days, warnings on things we buy seem to have a different purpose – to protect the manufacturer from being sued by people who do stupid things. As evidence, try these prize-winning “warnings”.
A toilet brush bearing the warning “Do not use for personal hygiene”.
A scooter with the startling legend “This product moves when used”.
And even a thermometer with the stupefying “Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally”.
Well, I never!
pax et bonum
