and a bit of signage.............

Think this sign kinda hits the mark....................

Yep some people are that stupid....
I used to work for a major electrical appliance retailer and we had a memo from head office about an old lady who used to wash her poodle and put it in the oven on a low heat with the door open to dry it. She bought a microwave cooker and ................... you probably guessed that she washed her poodle and put it in the microwave to dry....... she successfully sued the manufacturer as there was no warning on the microwave abiut not drying pets.

You must have heard about the yank who bought a big Winnibago motor home?
Well being really stoopid while driving he put on the cruise control and went to make coffee. The vehicle crashed and he sued the maker. He got $500,000 and a new camper. The drivers manuals had to be updated to say that the cruise control was not an auto pilot.
