Law & Order: MTU

Read the tag; final owner may tear it off.

That’s really harsh.

That’s why I NEVER tear them off. I’m worried that will happen to me.

I wonder if Wade Duck from U. S, Acres is among them?

Note: Removal of the mattress tag is only a cardinal offense (or damnable sin) for the purposes of this comic. No actual people were sent to hell for this reason.

Also: Real Hell is not this pleasant.

There is a special circle of HeII for those who take more than 15 items to the express check-out lane.

Chuck Palahniuk‘s vision of Hell.

Ah, still more episodes from the past. And speaking of the past…

George Orwell once said:

“He who controls the past, controls the future….

… he who controls the present, controls the past.”

… Jane! Stop this crazy thing!”

Wait… that last part mighta been George Jetson!

Ouch! Wonder what happens to the those who tore the tag off their shirts

Whew! Good thing this was Before Bleeb!

The tag actually says “Until delivered to consumer”. The retailer can’t remove it, but the buyer can.

And I thought it was a fallacy….LOL

It’s your mattress, it’s legal for you to tear off the tag. You’re supposed to! It’s to keep used mattresses from being sold as new. It’s the retailers who aren’t allowed to remove it.

One of my all-time favs!!!!!

Okay, so much for my mattress tag, what about this freakin mask?

I knew it! I just knew it!

All those vendors tore off mattress tags? It’s perfectly legal for the end user to do so.

I knew there was a special spot in hell for that. On my Gosh!! I’m doomed.

I knew it!!

All those people tore tags off at work?

LMAO!

I fooled them. I tore the tag off someone else’s mattress.

Whew, glad they haven’t caught me yet. OK, you didn’t see this post.

That’s perfectly legal, once you’ve bought it. It’s the manufacturer/retailer who’s not supposed to tear it off.

Hah! This is one offense I have never committed. Yet.

I guess Mickey from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure is there too. ;)
