Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I bought a small push toy bike for my children. This was 13 years ago--and the warning label read: Not safe to use on thoroughfares. I blame the parents for this one as well.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 OK - here is my addition. I am taking a prescription drug to help me sleep at night. On the side-effect page, it states-- WARNING - This drug may cause insomnia. OK- why was I prescribed this drug??? Dotgenkiportland wrote: I bought a small push toy bike for my children.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I have ironed the hem of my skirt a couple of times after I put it on for work & didn't have time to take it back off. LOL The bacon package also didn't warn me not to fry it naked too. It's so hard to get the back of skirt done tho. . . And the bacon-- ouch!

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 That reminds me of a Maxine cartoon I saw once. She says, "I tried doing housework in the nude once, and I didn't care for it. Well, the nude part wasn't so bad."
