please let me write the warning labels

This morning in my (finally-tiled) shower I noticed the warning label on my really yummy-smelling body wash. It read caution: not for internal use.

If there is goodness and fairness in the world, someday I will be allowed to re-write the warning labels. If I wrote this one, it would say caution: not for internal use, you moron. because THIS IS SOAP.

Awesome. Such is the fun of the blogging world-- one can go from a well-researched and eloquently-worded piece about such and such band's new album or remarkable live show and then BAM! ...we get to hear about how some guy who probably makes twice as much money as any of us (technically as a student I make $0 so any multiple would be bad) put effort(?) into something like that label. Oiey.

That and the "this is not a toy" label on plastic bags I find quite hilarious.. "oh man! I wanted to play with that!" Sadly, you know there had to be some precedent for them to include those warnings. Probably some idiot wanting to clean their insides... :S

I'm always curious about these people who smell bleach and other random cleaning products are thinking? 'Mmm...I think my stomach needs a good clean-out'?

Or the people who think that their new shoes come with a silica gel snack.

Damn it, the last person that posted stole my comment about those little packs of silica gel which boldly warn:

"DO NOT EAT"
