Where I work there is a little car thingy that the facilities people drive around in. It has a boxy-cagey thingy that you stand in and you can make it go higher. You know, to change lightbulbs or fix broken pipes or whatever else they need to do and don't feel like carting around a ladder.
Anyway, the other day Pat pointed out the warning sign on the side of this vehicle and it just cracked me up! So, while I was at work all by my lonesome on Saturday night, I took the opportunity to take a picture of it. Check it out. Don't you just love these two guys?
Great sign! On a side note, I work with a guy names Will Robinson. What a curse!
Posted by: Chris at January 19, 2004 09:08 AMIf you've ever seen the southern stand-up comedian James Gregory, he's made a living out of lampooning things like this sign. He'll point out a totally stupid sign (like this one) and comment how noone could be so ignorant or careless enough to require the presence of this sign. Then he says, "Someone, somewhere, said to his buddies, 'Hey, y'all - - Watch THIS!!'"
My favorite is the warning sign aboard airplanes, on the exit door: DO NOT OPEN DURING FLIGHT. Well, DUH. James Gregory says, "Somewhere, some fellow says to his wife, 'Honey, I'm going out for a smoke. I'll be back in just a minute.'" And I can just imagine the guy...

Posted by: jess at January 19, 2004 04:18 PMThey forgot something. Everyone that makes stupid warnings forgets something. The people that would actually need the signs are the ones lacking the common sense to heed their warnings.
I think everything should have the same label on it: Do not use this product if you are stupid. Plain, simple and to the point.
