Once long ago and far away I worked as a legal assistant for a litigation firm. I could go on for pages about how stupid people are, who then sue and expect the manufacturer (and ultimately all other consumers) to pay for their stupidity.

If you fall into a drunken sleep in the middle of the day leaving a 2 year-old child along with a cigarette lighter, what right do you have to sue the manufacturer of the cigarette lighter?

Don't get me started! Some of the warnings on goods manufactured overseas are amusing to read though.

Don't forget the "CAUTION, CONTENTS MAY BE HOT" on the McDonald's coffee cup.

I've said for years that warning labels are the downfall of our society. The idiots are surviving and filing lawsuits everywhere...

If you are stupid enough to try to stop a chainsaw with your hands, you shouldn't breed.

Im sure when these products were dreamed up, these warnings werent even thought of. It wasnt until the trial attorneys got a hold of consumerism did these foolish warnings start appearing..

"On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)"

But if I tell you, the curiosity would compel you to rush right out and use it for the other use.
That wouldn't be very nice of me, now would it?....;)
