Since the Common Sense gene seems to be ommited in many DNA strands these days, these labels are necessary.

Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts

What's funny, How people will go out of their way to do the things that some labels tell you not to do. Which I use the term "Un-common Sense".

In times past natural selection took care of yahoos and idiots for us. The person who used the heat gun as a hair dryer might have died a grizzly and screaming death, but at least we could hope that it happened before they could have children. Take a look at the Darwin Awards. You'll have a hard time believing that some of those folks got past their first step out the front door as a child.

It's only a matter of time before someone with recent dental work and new fillings files a lawsuit. Then it will.

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
