Shane Warne.

On a plastic military canteen I once saw a warning: Don't attempt to heat liquids in this canteen over an open flame.

On a men's room wall over the urinals: Don't eat the big breath mints.

But seriously folks, I know most Americans are thinking this Brit is just some kind of wimp but his article is spot on. I have a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce in my kitchen. One drop on a plate of anything will kick it up to notches nearly unbearable. Two drops in a large pot of stew or something makes it just ridiculously hot. Not tabasco by a long shot.

Yeah a friend of mine is into really hot food. When I was younger I sometimes had diner with him and his parents, and their food was orders of magnitude more spicy than what I was used to. These days I like things hot though.

Anyway some time ago I decided to make something hot when he and his wife were coming over: chicken with vindaloo curry. An English friend of min had given me a jar of the 'really hot' kind.

I stir fried the chicken, and then opened the jar to add the curry. The smell along made me hesitate. I decided to check it out first and touched a itty bitty bit to my tongue. My friend did the same.
When the burning subsided, we decided to throw away the molten lava known as vindaloo, and used the standard mild curry we buy in Belgium. Seriously, that vindaloo was waaaaaay too strong.

Gotta love real indians.

Talking of funny signs, a pub I used to work at had this one up in the gents:

"Please do not throw your cigarette butts in the urinals. It makes them soggy and difficult to light."

The thing was, once the sign went up it actually worked! People thought the sign was so funny they actually did what it was asking. We were quite pleased about that..!

But what did people have to play "urinal football" with?

At a bar, I saw "Please do not throw cigarettes on the ground, our customers could burn their hands and knees while leaving" or something close to that.

Also, "CAUTION: The edges of this sign are extremely sharp!"
That is all that was on the sign.

Here's another good one.
