Most pointless warning label

[meatloaf231]

Yeah, this is in regard to stupid, pointless, often hilarious warning labels such as "Warning, contains hot liquid" on a coffee cup.

Feel free to steer this towards whatever you want, be it funny stories or infuriating lawsuit arguments.

Have fun.

Anyway, here are 2 of my favourites:

1) (On a child's Superman costume) WARNING: Will not give user the ability to fly.

2) (On a pram) WHEN FOLDING, MAKE SURE THAT BABY IS NOT CURRENTLY INSIDE.

 

[Sackwak]

On a Claymore - Aim at Enemy

 

[Fire Daemon]

On any toy sword or gun etc.: Warning, not a real weapon.

 

[Birras]

On a child's first birthday card:Not intented for use by children under 16 moths of age.

On a dryer:WARNING: Do not use to dry off children under 6 moths old.

We should stop putting warning labels on things that are redicliously obvious, with the hope that anyone stupid enough to get themselves killed or badly injred by it will never had or have children; thus clensing the gene pool (hopefully) of anyone like them ever being born again...

On a Claymore - Aim at Enemy

How do you aim a sword?

Eh, He meant Claymore as in explosive satchel mine that fires shrapnel really fast if you walk into a laser sight/cause movement

Problem is, there's a method to this madness. Obviously, people who make ludicrous warning labels have been sued by idiots before.

You can aim mines now? I thought they just sat there and waited for some unsuspecting person to become an instant paraplegic.

If COD 4 isn't lying then claymores actually have a forward area to which the laser or movement sensors point, and where the shrapnel is thrown.

 

[The Wooster]

I recall one of the U.S army's anti tank weapons has 'point this end at target' or something similar. It may just be an urban legend though.

A sword?

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

On a knife.

WARNING: Do Not stick in children

yes you read correctly. IN!

Also on a handgun:

caution: Bullets come out this end (arrow pointing towards barrel)

Only the claymore has the shrapnel direction. it uses a shaped charge to launch the metal in one specific arc. and, yes, it has writing on the front that says "this side towards enemy".

 

[unholy vagrant]

The "this side towards enemy" signs are also on rpg launchers.

Well, you learn something new every day.

 

[cprs_]

Anything that was designed for or by the US Military has an arrow on it indicating the safe/correct direction of use. That goes for the label "Front towards enemy" on the back of a claymore anti-pers weapon (as you see it when you place the thing) to anti-tank weapons to even the cups canteen (brew mug)...

A sword?

You do know that a claymore, or claigh mor (big sword), was originally a big, two-handed sword used by angry Scotsmen, don't you?
