We needed an extension cord, so I picked one up from Radio Shack this afternoon. It came with a tag attached, but I tore it off so that I could transcribe the warning for you. Danger! [That's how it starts] Electrical cords can be hazardous. Misuse can result in FIRE or DEATH by ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Please read both sides carefully and follow all directions. During use: keep away from water; do not use when wet; keep children and pets away from cord; do not plug one extension cord into another; avoid overheating; uncoil cord and do not cover it with any material; do not drive, drag, or place objects over cord; do not walk on cord. After use: grasp plug to remove from outlet; always store cord indoors; always unplug when not in use; do not unplug by pulling on cord; do not remove this tag. Oops. I'm gonna die! And just in case some of you still don't understand how to operate one of these bastards, they also offer this word of advice: do not connect a three-prong plug into a two-hole cord. Lesson learned: do not taunt happy fun cord.

Ah, good ol' Happy Fun Ball. “If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.”

Dead meat man. What can I say? You did it to yourself. You might as well tear that tag off the mattress now while you're at it.

Have the warning label police come to get you yet? They're gonna lock you up for that you know. You can't just go around tearing warning labels off of things whenever you want!

Warning reading. People get paid to write that stuff.
I like the 'shower mold cleaner' stuff. It says not to use in a confined area that is not well ventilated.
If your shower wasn't confined & was well ventilated, you wouldn't need the stuff.
