Cute, but that's about it,

This review is from: Wearing of This Garment Does Not Enable You to Fly : 101 Real Dumb Warning Labels (Hardcover)
We all know that there is a plethora of items out there with ridiculous warning labels on them. Everything from the hair dryer that warns you not to use it while in the shower to the contraceptive jelly that warns against ingestion. This is the litigious nature of our society. Some of the warnings in this book are truly funny, a few will get a chuckle out of you, but most are just kind of blah. More fun is to go out and find the ludicrous warnings yourself and then try to imagine the person/people to whom these warnings are directed. It will likely make you wonder how the human race has survived this long and just how much longer we can make it.

This review is from: Wearing of This Garment Does Not Enable You to Fly : 101 Real Dumb Warning Labels (Hardcover)
I brought this book for my reading while on the "porcelain throne" collection. I thought this book would be hilarious. In all actuality its kind of corny. It has 1 warning per page and just overall was a waste of my money. I mean some of them are funny. But out of 101, i skimmed through it in one sitting, laughing at probably 5 at most. I guess i expected too much from this book when i ordered it

I was glad to purchase this book. Condition was great, and I read over it in my class. The students got a kick out of it.
