Wackiest Of The Wacky Warning Labels Selected

[The Straight Story]

Other wacky labels:

*
* The $250 second place award went to Jam Sardar of Grand Rapids, Mich., for a label on a kitchen knife that warns: Never try to catch a falling knife."
* The $100 third place award goes to Alice Morgan of La Junta, Colo., who found a very wacky warning on a cocktail napkin. The napkin has a map of the waterways around Hilton Head, S.C., printed on it along with this: "Caution: Not to be used for navigation."
* And don't eat the yellow snow, either. Kirk Dunham of Seabrook, Texas, got an honorable mention for a warning label he found on a bottle of dried bobcat urine made to keep rodents and other pests away from garden plants. It said: "Not for human consumption."
But will it get cold in the refrigerator? Another honorable mention goes to Lyne Anton of Elk, Calif., who found the following warning label on a baking pan: "Ovenware will get hot when used in oven."

2. Funny!

:rofl:

I imagine the cocktail napkin was a joke. On edit: It isn't a joke. So, why am I still laughing. :rofl:

3. You'd be amazed at the things some boater use to navigate

In the San Juan islands (in Washington state) there are lots of hidden hazards -- like rocks near the surface. Boats keep hitting these rocks. Not everyone invests in charts (maps). So every so often someone in a small boat will pull up next to our boat and ask where they are -- often holding a menu or post card with a map.

4. As a child, I remember all of the floating devices

were not to be used as life preservers, just for floating, so they said so.

And there's always the toothpaste labels, which tell you to go to the hospital if you swallow the toothpaste.
