We
saw this on website mlaw.org,
a website that campaigns against frivolous lawsuits.
Their
annual award has gone to the warning on a washing machine in a Laundromat from
a person in Northville, Michigan, it said:
DO
NOT PUT ANY PERSON INSIDE THIS WASHER |
Second
place goes to a reader in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota who spotted this warning on
a 'personal watercraft':
NEVER
USE A LIT MATCH OR OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FUEL LEVEL |
Third
place was tied by two entries:
This
was found on a cell phone:
DON'T
TRY TO DRY YOUR PHONE IN A MICROWAVE OVEN |
This
on a Super Lotto Ticket:
No
prize but an honorable mention goes to a man who found this warning on a copy
of the Yellow Pages:
PLEASE
DO NOT USE THIS DIRECTORY WHILE OPERATING A MOVING VEHICLE |
Voting
took place by listeners to the Dick Purtan show on Detroit radio station, WOMC-FM.
