Warning Labels

Warning Labels I remember the eighties, common sense and smarts big hair and jeans were just part of the arts there was lead in our paint and asbestos on the floor if you talked back to Mom your butt would get sore gas was flammable, a little spark could start a flame if you got burned by your coffee, only you were to blame we had Ma and Pop shops, and the cassette recorder there were no warning labels on everything you would order ineptness has grown, with technology and time with so many machines, there are fewer hills to climb there are bumps and bruises on every street corner a burn or a scrape should not be a foreigner I don’t think warning labels are the correct tool we should peel them all off and improve our gene pool everyone falls, get up and brush yourself off Let’s bring back common sense and get rid of the scoff

hmmm, perhaps people should come with warning labels. You know, something like..."I have an ego" or "I enjoy harrassing people." Good points you've made, Mark.

Sadly common sense has gone out the window, health and safety is a farce in the workplace, sharing a can with your friends didn't kill you. ( mind you with covid still about that might not be wise lol.) Hope your keeping well Mark. Tom

Some of these labels are just crazy these days.
