Seen on the bottom of a Coca-Cola bottle: "Do not open here."
On a bottle of spray paint: "Do not spray in your face."
Warning on a curling iron: Do Not Insert Curling Iron Into Any Bodily Orifice?
Seen on an industrial size washer in our local laundry establishment was the (large lettered) sign: "Warning: Do not put any person in this washer."
:laugh:

My favorite warning was on a can of peanuts. "Warning: may contain peanuts."
Sorry to gross people out, but that is an important warning.
My Dad worked at a laundromat when he was in highschool. There was one washer that was walk-in. My Dad's good friend who also worked there, accidently turned it on while inside (he forgot to turn off the safety switch). When Dad discovered him, there were no chunks left large enough to identify.

There was a toilet brush that had a warning on the packaging - Not to be used for personal hygiene.
No kidding.

But if you werent stupid you wouldnt need any warnings.
If you were stupid you wouldnt think the warning applies to you, (or know what qualifies as being stupid).
I would like to get rid of all the warnings.
Let mother nature take her course. We'd all be better off.
(Of course, I'd hang out in a bomb shelter for the first month or so.)

we had this safety meeting last year and they had this external company in to present it. they showed some pretty graphic images of stuff that happened to people who didn't follow safety procedures. definitely gets the point across when all thats left of a guy is a few blood smears on the equipment.

It was in the late 60s at a commercial landromat. I don't think customers were allowed back there. I can't say if any exist anymore.
Supposedly he got caught on a hook, and it started rotating around. He kept hitting the door opening which was still open. A little came off at a time. Normally, the door would be closed and there wouldn't be that edge to hit anything.
Of course this is 3rd person from my Dad and it occured well before I was born, I can't say exactly what happened with absolute certainty.

Its sort of like that story, "the mighty tree breaks under the wind, but the reed bends and lives" or something like that.
