Cheesy complaint

He survived to a ripe old age by using that cane as a trigger.

Now make it snappy.

Second rat gets the cheese, third rat goes hungry.

Cheesy advice from Grampa Meece

You can see the inherent stupidity of man by the warning labels on products these days, because every one of those labels has a stupid person or persons that caused the need for the warning.

On curling irons: “Do not insert into any orifice.”

On Preparation H: “For external use only.”

On baby strollers: “Remove Child Before Folding..”

On chainsaws: “Do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw.”

OK, Grandpa.

Gently, Grandpa, you’ll do yourself an injury.

Keep your cheese, most mice are holding out for peanut butter.

One of the examples were are given on safety and warnings includes an example that happened in the States. Three men decided to cut holes in a plank of wood and then stuck the tops of their heads through them. The other then went over them with a lawn mower to give them a hair cut. Needless to say, they got scalped instead.But here’s the nutty part – they sued the lawn mower manufacturer because it didn’t tell them NOT to do it – and they won. Clearly this was a while ago, but that’s why there are statements like “only to be used for the purpose intended” because there are idiots out there that even idiots think are stupid. Need warning labels on everything to prevent getting sued.

Lawyers,lawyers, lawyers.

It’s for the person setting it

And you had lots of people soaking in the bath tub with a radio on the edge…

And we would not have read them any way.

Litigation hadn’t gone totally off the rails in his day

Nothing about being lactose intolerant?

II remember a Road Runner cartoon where after failing again, the coyote looks at the label on an Acme product and it says “Not for use against road runners.”

Fortunately the old mouse didn’t have Tidepods

Warning: Do not drive with this reflective windshield screen in place

Your right, Plus the warnings translated out of Chinese are hilarious.

I have more than once been amused to watch a mouse remove the bait from such a trap, nibble by nibble, without ever setting it off.

I’ve also known more than one human to have such a trap snap shut on their finger.
