I read these this morning and just had to share them.... ENJOY the LAUGH!!

Wacky Warning Labels

* Americans are lawsuit crazy. And the very real prospect of being sued has caused some companies to be extra cautious and overly obvious when it comes to warning labels for their products. Case in point:

1.) The Conair Pro Style 1600 hair dryer warns, "Never use hair dryer while sleeping."

* In 2001, an e-mail circulated claiming a man, hurt while trying to scratch his nose with a power drill, was suing a drill maker since the product lacked a warning not to put the drill in any bodily orifice. The story was untrue, but maybe this got drill companies thinking?

2.) WARNING: Not intended for use as a dental drill.

* This gross warning won the top prize for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year in 2005. The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch (M-LAW) hosts the contest each year.

3.) WARNING: Do not use toilet brush for personal hygiene.

* So you bought one of those cardboard sunshields to cover your car's front windshield and cool your car's interior. Smart thinking. Driving without removing it first? Not so smart. Hey, you've been warned.

4.) WARNING: Do not drive with sunshield in place.

* It's great when you can buy a multi-use product, but when it comes to a thermometer that can be used in either 'end', please pick a place and stick with it. (No pun intended.) Enough said, right?

5.) WARNING: Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.

* OK, now that women have hair straighteners called flat irons, and they don't have to take a household iron to their hair like they did in the '70s, there is absolutely no reason to put a hot iron anywhere near your body. Scorching Metal + Skin = Bad

6.) WARNING: Never iron clothes while they are being worn.

* Pepper spray is often purchased by folks looking for a means of personal self-defense. The product's sole purpose is to irritate the eyes when sprayed into the eyes of an attacker. Let's hope if you get mugged, the warning proves itself true.

7.) WARNING: Pepper spray may irritate eyes.

There's an old Wall Street adage: "Never try to catch a falling knife." It means that it's both dangerous and foolhardy to buy a stock that's falling. I guess one maker of kitchen knives wanted to make certain this old saying was taken literally, too.

8.) WARNING: Never try to catch a falling knife.

In a comical take on warning labels gone mad, Slurpee cups at 7-Eleven were stamped with this tongue-in-check warning. The convenience store registered the term "brain freeze" in 1994 to communicate the painful joy of drinking a frozen Slurpee.

9.) WARNING: Brain freeze may occur.

Will wonders never cease, as seen on a Chainsaw tag:

10.) WARNING: Never attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.

It never ceases to amaze me that the species considered to be the highest order of intelligence on earth can be so dumb at the same time!



Is #10 really true??

There was another one I heard about... It says: "Do not turn upside down" which was printed on the bottom side of the bottle...
