One that totally cracked me (and my brothers) up was right after my Dad's pacemaker surgery. We were reading the Warrenty information which stated something along the lines of... "This warrenty is only good for the initial user, any other uses renders this warrenty null and void."

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the market is for used pacemakers?!? If the resale value is up there... well, Dad's kinda old anyway...

What about the flavor saver packets in bags of Beef Jerky that say 'Do not eat'. I bet some stupid mother farker ate it and then sued the fuck out of the company.

I liked this one "A container of underarm deodorant says, "Caution: Do not spray in eyes."

Ever go out with that person that was great and everything but just had that one stinky eye?

This was the only one that did not surprise me. Those UofM students are not always the brightest and after the big incident they had in '90 it became a city ordinance to put that label up in restrooms that had a high student traffic; in the restrooms the athletes use they actually had to post a guard to make sure they were not having a hard time reading the sign and drinking the toilet water anyway.
