    Default Necessary Warning

    Is this really necessary to put on a box KNIFE? Are people so dull that they have to be warned that the blade is sharp? If they don't know that, I'd bet they can't read!

    if it's necessary to put a HOT warning on coffee, then i suppose we should be fair and put a sharp warning on knives.

    My Mercury outboard manual said WARNING it is unsafe to run over people while they in the water. It could case injury or even death.

    I think if you can't figure that out you are too stupid to have anything motorized.

    It all boils down to using a little common sense but common sense isn't so common these days.

    In the opposite end, in my neck of the woods, or in this case one of the frozen Great Lakes, there are signs everywhere that say, "Stay Off - Thin Ice" or something to that effect, and every year, we see people dying from falling through the ice from walking on it, plunging through the ice on snowmobiles or ATVs, just tragic, and it seems people never learn.

    Actually know a guy that cut the heck out of his wrist with a safety box knife. The blade sticks out about 1/4 " and retracts at the end of the cut IF you use it right. And yes he still works there pffffff.

    This is one of my favorites. Must have actually happened once and that is sad but I bet the dumb parents are still walking around and breeding.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
