Warnings are getting so lengthy they have to make them small enough to fit labels, without a microscope they cannot be read.The older we get the the harder it becomes to even see the foolish things.Maybe they hope for that as well.

A wise man once said that if you order a coffee at McD's, the cup it is served in contains a hot beverage.

All rules, warning signs and so-called, "it's company policy" were made because somebody already did that STUPID thing!! And someone was sued over it.

Enough said.

That's just Harley covering their butts. It's all because of the coffee in the crotch spillage fiasco.

It's gotten to the point where there are so many silly warnings that nobody reads them, so they miss the important ones. But that's OK, because the goal is no longer avoioding accidents, but avoiding lawsuits.

Lawyered up. Why do you need a warning not to light a charcoal grill inside or use a turkey frier inside. Stupid people do stupid things and want to sue.
