Ahhhh... The joy of Mondays.

Oh the joy of warning labels. It is said that most of the time someone was stupid enough to try the crazy warning in order for it to be on the label.

Warning on fireplace log: Caution -- Risk of Fire. (That is what I hope for)

I was feeling super-smart until the one about ironing clothes on your body. I have done that. I could probably sue.
