From a Comedian on Blue Collar Comedy on Sirrius Radio . Reading the Back of a Tube of KY Jelly . " Not For Use in Eyes or Ears " !!! His reply was if you are getting it in your eyes or ears , you are doing it wrong and should likely be wearing a helmet and not go unsupervised .
Similar to Mace , On my trip to Georgia in 1980 for Basic training , had a layover in San Francisco . A few of us went outside checking out the view and smoking cigs. . As typical very windy there , so our lighters were turned up to max . Back inside , ( this was before smoking areas , etc... ) , We were all sitting in this group when this Blonde Bombshell , like Model or Actress type Bombshell , Comes walking down the aisle towards us. One of the guys was playing with his lighter , not lighting it , just something like juggling it across his fingers and this lady stops in front of him , pulls out a cig and asks for a light . He was going to hand it to her , but she held the cig in her mouth and bent down for him to light . We all sweared afterwards that the flame went at least to her eyebrows . None of us laughed until after she went around the corner , then 7 guys and 1 girl were rolling on the floor . :laughing:The smell of burnt hair lasted for the next 30 minutes till we boarded .

Bags of charcoal in the grocery store have a warning something like, "Warning: do not light bag in living room for heat"

THAT is the best laugh I have had on TBN in months...I think the last time I used our little Weber charcoal grill was on a camping trip back in 1993...still have the 20 lb. bag of charcoal mostly unused...I bet it doesn't have that warning on it.
FUNNY !!!! Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean. It is bad enough having warnings written in English, but to have them in symbols is just stupid.
Don't ask me what the item was, but a while back I saw a warning symbol that looked like a cucumber with a red line through it...
At least I hope it was a cucumber
In case you think I'm joking, I'm seriously not.
Bathroom door hinges? Don't put your cucumber in here?

That's precisely why I always advise not using such products in the state of California.

Guys, I went with my brother today to look at a vacant house that was built in 1898...the house is lousy with mold, lead paint, and asbestos (see attachments). I am surprised the realtors showing the house did not make the people who wanted to look at it sign a form stating:
"If you get sick or die from a result of viewing this house today, you agree not to hold our company or the owners of the premises responsible because you have been told the house contains toxic substances..." :laughing:

On I-95 on the way to Philadelphia, with cars going 60 -65 mph, with 3 lanes each way, there's a little sign on the side of the road that says " Caution, weave area". Now, just exactly what are you supposed to do differently when you see that sign, and what is a weave area anyway ? I think the net effect is to take peoples' eyes off of the road and mentally distract them long enough to cause an accident.

That was funny!
Can you imagine GM making THAT commercial today? No Way.
The MPG was pretty danged good and while they called that a small car back then today it would be a large or medium sized car.
I remember the Citation. They were ugly then and they are still ugly.
Later,

I drove a rental for about a month. It was like driving a brick. I don't remember getting good gas milage.

Sadly, not funny. Every time there is a cold snap in FL, people die from using charcoal to keep warm- IN THEIR HOME!
