At least two are legitimate warnings.

QUOTE
Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.


Any woman of a certain age will remember hair dryers with bonnets that were perfect for putting you to sleep. One of my sorority sisters nearly died in a fire because she was asleep under the dryer when the room next to hers caught fire. She never heard the alarm.

QUOTE
Bic Lighter
Ignite lighter away from face.


Reminds me of the train conductor I met who had a huge bandage covering his nose. He told a scary story of a friend who offered to light his cigarette (while on a plane no less) and the butane lighter misfired, singing his nose.

I can't imagine how stupid people were to actually smoke on airplanes...and use butane lighters... what was the FAA thinking?  rolleyes.gif

Well, because of some committee's plan, smoking was prohibited while the aircraft was on the ground, you could only light up while in the air. Let's see getting out on the ground might create traffic problems for other taxiing planes...Yeah! Let's not allow that kind of problem. Smoking is only allowed while the aircraft is at least ten thousand feet above the ground. We'll just have to order longer hoses...wallbash.gif

I like that one Jane! laugh.gif

I always loved the "Falling Rock" signs going up the winding canyon roads near Denver. So, what are you going to do?? dntknw.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Keep your eyes crossed. One can watch for the rocks, the other can watch the road. Two hands on the steering wheel, always knowing which is the better way to swerve. One foot on the brake ready to stop short (of the rock or the edge of the chasm!). The other foot ready to push you out of the car before it goes over the edge! eek2.gif All that's too much work and stressful, that's why I always flew over those 'hills' and always with at least two engines! tongue.gif
