NINTH ANNUAL WACKY WARNING LABEL CONTEST

           A heat gun and paint remover that produces temperatures of 1,000 degrees and warns users, "Do not use this tool as a hair dryer" has been identified as the Nation’s Wackiest Warning Label in Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch’s annual Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its ninth year.

OTHER WINNERS:

           The $250 second place award went to a label on a kitchen knife that warns: "Never try to catch a falling knife."
Perfect for those people who aren’t "the sharpest knife in the drawer."

           The $100 third place award went to a very wacky warning on a cocktail napkin. The napkin has a map of the waterways around Hilton Head, South Carolina. Printed on it alongside the map is: "Caution: Not to be used for navigation."
"Hurry up, bartender! I’m late for the regatta."

           An honorable mention went to a warning label found on a bottle of dried bobcat urine made to keep rodents and other pests away from garden plants. It says: "Not for human consumption."
And don’t eat the yellow snow, either, by the way.

           Another honorable mention went to the following warning label on a baking pan: "Ovenware will get hot when used in oven."
But will it get cold in the refrigerator?

           So, you have been WARNED!

Funny, Because It's TRUE...!








The Overloaded Jetta

           Believe it or not, the picture below is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.

Overloaded Jetta

           The car is still running, as can be seen by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep, or otherwise out cold, in the front passenger's seat. The driver was jogging up and down on Rt. 925. (in the background) Witnesses said their physical & mental state was other than normal. The driver finally came back, after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

           The materials had been loaded at The Home Depot. Their store manager said that they had made the customer sign a waiver. While the plywood and 2x4s are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains -- are you ready for this? -- 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each. They estimated the total load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires had exploded, the wheels were bent and the back shocks were driven through the floorboard.

           The car, with FLA plates (naturally), was headed for Clanton, Alabama, where, presumably, the couple planned to build a new house, in which to smoke their crack.






"Women-Only" Parking Lot

           With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded parking lots, especially during evening hours, the Minneapolis City Council has established a "Women-Only" Parking Lot at the Mall of America.

           Even the parking lot attendants are exclusively female, so that a comfortable and safe environment is created for patrons. Below is the first picture available of this, the world's first women-only parking lot.

           Luckily, it seems that no VWs were involved!







New Japanese Fashion Trend: See-Through Skirts!

           Just when you think you've seen it all, comes this! What you see below are not see-thru skirts. They are actually prints on the skirts, made to make it look as if the panties are visible. These are currently all the rage in Japan. They may become all the rage here, soon. (Posted here as a public service, so you won't have a heart attack when it reaches the USA.)

           Luckily, it seems that, once again, no VWs were involved!
