This is just one of many stupid warning labels. 

Not far from my house is a set of train tracks with a sign posted on it that says "Do not climb on this sign".  I LMAO every time I pass it thinking that some idiot actually climbed it and got hurt, thus prompting the RR (or DOT) to install the sign.

I have never understood what one is supposed to do when they come up on one of these. (http://209.85.12.232/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

I always thought the "caution hot" label on my cup of coffee was kind of stupid.

Kid you not I read the directions on a commercial cleaning product.  It said that if you cannot understand English please do not use this product.  No other languages were shown on the label.
