More Zany Warnings

More Zany Warnings

By Elton Camp

On the metal barrel of a rifle, not to be debated:
“Misuse may cause injury or death,” tis stated

On wrapper of a Fruit Roll-Up snack we see:
“Remove plastic before eating.” My, oh me!

Warning found on a remote control for a TV:
“Not dishwasher safe” are the words we see

“Safe for use around pets” is assurance told
On box of cat litter that we have been sold

Fritos bag says, “No purchase necessary to win”
And then it explains that the details are within

“Cleans and refreshes without water or soap,”
Contains water and soap says the same dope

Instructions on muffin package can’t be beat:
“Remove wrapper, open mouth, insert and eat”

Then this taken from a Swann frozen dinner:
“Serving suggestion:  Defrost” is sure a winner

On a Domino’s sandwich box this we are bid:
“For heat-retaining to function, close the lid”

Hey EC, No Horses is pretty funny all right! I've written several more of this type that require a picture. If you want to see them, go to the links at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1261095150 Elton Camp

'NO HORSES' declared a sign by the entrance to a farm. what opulence if all the owners lack are equine creatures; and what if everyone erected noticeboards outside their properties confirming all they lacked? you wouldn't see my house. lol. enjoyed this one, EC. Thanks for sharing, EC.
