Let Nature Take It's Course
I know there are many dangers we face. Every. Single. Day. I have managed to live to write another day and you have managed to stay alive to read this another day. Job well done!
Forward Ho! I have ripped all the warning labels off all my devices/appliances long ago, if there was even one there to begin with.(They insulted me and I took it personally). I am still breathing. I think this shows that I am worthy to live on and see the aliens land tomorrow because I didn’t blow dry my hair while I was sleeping. One smart chick, right? Ah, sleep styling. It obviously is a problem.
If I were so inclined to go use a chain saw to cut me some firewood, well…thank goodness there are labels. Because if there weren’t, I definitely would have done this!
I was at the store the other day and picked up a strange brown carton with all these little egg shaped indentations. What could it be? Thank goodness! Eggs. Complete with a warning on said carton. “WARNING: THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN EGGS.” Well…I was not disappointed.
I have signed many checks and legal documents in my day and it magically made my money disappear. I am really upset that I did not use this pen. “Label: The Vanishing Fabric Marker should not be used as a writing instrument for signing checks or any legal documents.”
Now, I do not know about you, but around here we have critters, and you don’t want predators coming around to eat your egg makers. This bag of whatever this bag is full of doesn’t look particularly tasty. Or sound like a comfort food go-to. But, it says on the label “Not for human consumption.” It is MDW Outdoor Group's fox/bobcat urine powder. Ummm…ewww.
I bought a new iron last year. I looked at the box. There was a warning that said “Do not iron clothes on body.” Well! The nerve. Trying to control how I use my iron! But, they did leave the option open of omitting the danger of pummeling someone on the head, they just don’t want you to hurt yourself.
I love riding a bike. If I had a better seat I would love it even more. But, the kids love scooters. The push kind with wheels. You know, they go round and round? Here is a warning from the label of a scooter.
I remembering getting my daughter in iPod shuffle. The warning label said on it “DO NOT EAT.” So, did someone really eat one? I have a song stuck in my head could very well change to I have many songs stuck in my colon, put me on a bumpy road to change your song choice.
These labels and warnings are dated. I have not looked up or seen any that I can remember, except the line of labels listing "Made in China”. We try not to go there but are finding it more difficult to avoid. 2 years ago the made in China products were everywhere and cheap. Now, they are even more everywhere and WAY more expensive than they were. Even the masks are made in China. Hmmmm. You wanna breathe that? No. Let’s just make a parking lot cover with the discarded ones. Gross.
In my very humble opinion, I believe if there were no INANE warning labels put on products (see above for examples) then nature would take care of the rest. Now, that would be an interesting reset.
