Achtung! Idiot 4

Rules:

We've all seen them -- those little packets of silica gel that accompany stereo equipment, emblazoned with the words DO NOT EAT. On most coffee cups, you'll find a helpful reminder that the beverage you're about to enjoy is extremely hot. Rent a wood chipper, and there'll be a sign warning that you could lose a hand if you stick it into the feeder. Duh.

Apparently, they're needed, because there are those among us who will try almost anything. Pretty soon there will be television shows dedicated to people doing mind-boggling stupid antics.

...oh, wait.

Anyway, here's your chance to make the world a little safer for your not-so-bright neighbors. Create your own ridiculously obvious warning label for known products. Like so:

Disposable Lighter: Caution: Do not use to thaw frostbitten body parts.

The rules of the game are thus: Create your own warning labels for preexisting products for the idiots among us. ONLY ONE WARNING LABEL PER ENTRY, PLEASE!

Keep in mind that profanity is not acceptable. All entries must be in accordance with our text rules and guidelines. As always, quality is a must. You will have 7 days for this contest, so make your submission count.

Length Limit: 25 words. It's a label, not a novel!

Thanks to Brendan for reminding us of this contest idea!
