The most funny label (though it was more of a sign) I saw so far was "We DO NOT have firecrackers! Yes, AT ALL!" on the door of some shop during Xmas sales. Kids, though, just kept asking ))

I once saw a sign that said 'WARNING: May Contain Milk' on a milk carton.
why it would contain anything else is up to you.

This may just be an Urban Legend, but apparently on some US Army Barracks notice boards there are signs that say things like:

"Remember, when the pin is pulled Mr. Grenade is not our friend!"

Like Vaynes says, warning labels that say: "Warning: Contains mild Fantasy Violence"
I mean come on! That's why we're watching the damn thing!

It's a corporate world we live in, children. It isn't pointless if it keeps even one person from filing a lawsuit.

Nothing goes without saying anymore. And even when something does, people feel compelled to state obvious fact anyway. Deal with it.

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...
Problem is, there's a method to this madness. Obviously, people who make ludicrous warning labels have been sued by idiots before.
Exactly. That's where the Coffee "Warning Contents are Hot" warning came from because of the idiot who shoved a cup from McD's between their legs and it split in their lap. So we either have to put up with the dumbasses who sue because they are too stupid to have an ounce of common sense, or we get warning labels that are so obvious we have to wonder if it's worth procreating out of fear our children will inherent the "stupid gene".

Did you know that there was an American man who bought a lawn mower, and while he was using it, had a heart attack in his backyard. He later sued the hardware store, on the basis that they didn't warn him that he was too fat to be mowing lawns.
Thing is, if they said that, he would sue for discrimination.

Anyway, he won. WTF happened there?

There was another time when a (American, again...) woman was driving, but then switched on cruise control, got a magazine and sat in the back seat, reading it.
After the inevitable crash, she sued the car company for not warning her that Cruise Control did not drive your car for you.

She won...

There was once a woman in America who dried her dog off in the microwave (with obvious consequences). Nowadays most, if not all, microwaves state that animals should not be dried off in it.

Me and my friend laugh at the tags on mattresses that say "should not be remove except by consumer" and my little sister upon hearing this said "so we have to eat the mattress" i know what they meant by 'consumer' but its still funny
