    With all the catastrophes in 2005 Katrina, Wilma, Southeast Asia\’s Tsunami etc etc it is nice to get a chuckle from the Insurance Journal news. Thanks for the laughter.

    Hmph…too bad there wasn\’t a warning label on the unlucky truck in Michigan that was discussed here last week or so:

    \”Warning: vehicle to be used only for passage on approved road surfaces. Vehicle is not approved for landing of aircraft, light or otherwise.\”

    Oh man, it is funny what you see as a label. Don\’t forget about that label on the hair dryer – Keep away from water, lol. Or, I got this prescription one time and it says do not take with alcohol. I mean come on, who is like, oh I got this medicine I think I\’ll use vodka to wash this down instead of water. It\’s so true, they do have some crazy labels.

    Brings to mind the lawsuit I saw a few years ago…a woman sued the manufacturer of a contraceptive jelly because she got pregnant…after eating it on her toast!

    From then on, the manufacturer had to label the package with the warning \”Not intended for oral consumption\”…

    Why not just label everything with a catch-all of \”People too stupid to live should not use this product\”?

    They might also need to add a sentence at the end that reads: \” If you do, you\’re an idiot!! \”.

    What about putting a note on a .357 saying that\’s it\’s not a hair dryer, that would be funny. Or better yet, put a note on the .357 that says it is a hair dryer, that would be funny warning.

    I don\’t think that\’s funny if you put a note saying it\’s a hair dryer. Would it be funny if some one got hurt because there is a note saying it\’s a hair dryer. You have a sick sense of humor Cindy.

    Those labels are funny. I also like reading those police blotters that tell funny stories about dumb criminals. I bet they make those labels for people like that, the dumb criminals. Good stuff.
