They Didn't Write That, Did they?
We've all seen them, and most of us have laughed. Why would they put that warning on here? Well, unfortunately most warning labels are there because someone did it!
In Search Of Warnings
You can find these warning labels everywhere, from the deodorant you wear, to the car you drive. Just about everything carries a warning label these days. It makes you wonder just what some of these people were thinking when they made the mistakes that caused these labels to be made in the first place!
If you enjoy these warnings as much as I do, please feel free to leave me a comment. Especially if you have one I have missed!

- They have to put those stupid labels on the products because someone was actually that stupid to have done all those things.

- These warning labels are actually put on there because people did these things and sued and won. So to prevent any other law suits the compinies put these warning labels on the items. I learned it in the Liability chapter of Athletic Training.

- My husband got a screw driver set with the charming illustration of someone inserting the screw driver into a penis, with a large DON"T written through it.
Who could ever think that is a good idea?
