Half Ass Friday

I’ve decided to start a new series.  It doesn’t always have to take place on a Friday, but I think I will always call it Half Ass Friday, because that just seems more half-assed.

I was checking the “odd news”, because it is less depressing than the regular news.  In it they have a article about this years winners for the “wacky warning label” contest.  Held by MLAW. 

I loved this years first place winner

I agree with it 100%.  They shouldn’t call it a warning, but a strongly worded recommendation.  I think I will print this up and give it to all the patients who come into the hospital. 

They mentioned a previous winner (bud don’t include a picture), “Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not extinguish a fire.” I’d hate to meet the person who caused this warning to be needed.  I can just picture someone standing in a burning house, on a chair, pushing the silence button on their smoke detector frantically while screaming, “WORK DAMN IT!  WHY DON"T IT WORK?!?”

Finally, I noticed this warning label

It says to not put persons inside the washer.  I would find this more strange, but in high school we used to go to laundry mats and go “dryer riding”; take turns getting inside dryer and letting it spin.  I think people have actually died doing this.  So this label seems more necessary, but if you were going to do this, the label probably won’t stop the insanity.
