Re: OT: Such Innocense ?????

I bought a hair dryer today (my 19 year old one died today) and looked

through the directions and it states that I should not use the hairdryer

when I am sleeping.

Long ago, I bought a spray can of laundry stain remover, made by a

huge, well-known corporation. It said in a large banner on the can

" NEW - FRESH LEMON SCENT " , and down lower, much harder to read was a

symbol with a death's head and the words, in much smaller print: " MAY

BE FATAL IF INHALED " .

So I'll take the stupid warnings. At least they're not trying to kill

you - just trying to discourage fake lawsuits.
