I looked at a jar of honey roasted peanuts I have and some of the things they have to put on labels are like "DUH". In bold letters below the ingredients, "Contains peanuts". No really? Who'd a thunk it? Kind of like nutrition information on bottled water. Is it really necessary? It's water, it has no nutritional value at all but it's still there on the label. My favorite of all time was a bottle of medicine that said on the paper label "Do not use product of label is missing". Yeah, OK............If the label is missing, how the bleep are you going to read the warning that tells you not to use it if it's missing? Has to be the work of liberals. You know, totally illogical and free of any common sense whatsoever. ;)

You do realize that all of the DUH labeling is due to the fact that at some point the label was not on there, someone did something stupid, they had a good lawyer, and they won their court case. Has nothing to do with the fact that a bag of peanuts may contain nuts, or that common sense says that you should be able to figure out that pouring hot coffee on your crotch is probably not a good idea.
 
I had a statistics professor that stood up in front of the class and called roll.
After he was finished, he looked up and seriously asked the class 'If I called your name and you are not here, please see me after class.'

I still hope he meant to say 'If I didn't call your name and you are here, please see me after class.'

But I'll never know. I figured if he couldn't call roll correctly, I'd better change to another class -- which I did.
 
Yeah I know, it's all from lawyers and people that were too stupid to have any common sense but I still find it funny. You can cite examples from other things also. My lawnmower has a label warning you to not put your fingers under the mower deck and to let you know the muffler may be hot if engine has been running. Apparently aerosol products can be harmful or fatal if you concentrate and inhale the contents. Gee, never would have guessed. Only one warning is required for any product and that is "Do not use this product if you have no common sense". Problem solved.

By the way DrLebaron, just exactly what does a homo taste like:p
 
Must be one of those Canadian things. What with that Trudeau guy running the place, anything is possible.:eek:
 
I've bought that before to use as a gag gift for my wife's freinds 40th birthday party
 
I have always found this to be a little moronic...

I know the reasoning blah blah blah - however it makes no sense without looking into it more.. Milk=Dairy... 99.9% of the time!
