    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.

    I have actually done this. When I was in the Navy, I had a uniform inspection and already had my dress whites on. The ribbons were perfect as my buddy helped me adjust them and I didn't want to take anything off for fear of messing anything up but there was a random crease on the sleeve so I had to iron it. I put took some card board and slipped it between my arm and sleeve and ironed away. It got hot but it worked.

    Rifles come with warnings stamped on the barrels. And booze, and smokes, and motorcycles, and cars, and... We live in a suing culture (those of us who live in the US at least...)

    It seems the new American Dream is "Don't work at all, and get rich quick"

    You know, now that I think about it, I got this straight razor from an online shop that had no warnings with it at all, and I cut myself. Where did I put the lawyer's number?!??......
