Since the 1970's women have been protesting for equality. Evidently some states have failed miserably, and still treat women as "second class" citizens. One such state is Tennessee! In the city of Memphis, Tennessee it is illegal for a woman to drive a car,unless there is a man either running or walking in front of the moving vehicle waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians. Although I see quite a few female idiot drivers on the streets  I still think this law is horribly wrong! I have seen bad male drivers too! Women of Memphis unite, show those stupidly misguided jerks that we females are a force to be reconned with!

Being a mom and having sick babies at times, I had to take their temperature. I never needed to take their temperature rectally, but if I had, I'm sure I would have kept a separate thermometer for that use only. And I'm positive I would sterilize it between use. But maybe that is just me! To help those people who aren't as germ phobic as I am, the electric thermometer manufacturer has added this warning in hopes that these non phobic people will at least follow instructions. "Do not use orally after using rectally!"

Here are a few more silly signs. Enjoy, I did.

Some warning labels you know are in place because some idiot has done something, well, IDIOTIC, and sued a company and won. My guess is that is what happened to "Apple". In the instruction manual that accompanies the "Ipod" shuffle is this little gem, "DO NOT EAT IPOD SHUFFLE" People, really! Apple's aren't always edible!

English. A language you hear in just about every corner of the world. But sometimes the translation isn't quite right! A sign inside a Tokyo taxi reads, "Please fasten seatbelt to prepare for crash." And this sign in a Tokyo park reads, "KEEP JAPAN CLEAN DON'T BURN THE FIRE CHIEF". And this warning label is on a set of Korean knives,"WARNING!:KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN". On a package containing a shower cap at a hotel in Japan says, "fits one head." I wonder who that one person is! But one of my favorites is the sign hanging inside a public bathroom in China,(see picture) I can only assume they think tourists are so dumb they need instructions for the toilet!

Summer. The fun times riding your personal watercraft at high speed jumping waves and cooling off! If complete cleansing of you body cavities with dirty lake, river, or sea water isn't part of your plans, best wear protection other than sunscreen! This warning appears on Jet Ski personal water crafts, "Wear wet suits to protect against abrasions, hypothermia, and injuries to orifices (rectum and vagina) from impact with water surface."

Remember eating those cute little crackers shaped like animals? The fun little box shaped like a circus train! Well animal rights activists have even managed to make even innocent bakers of these little crackers post a disclaimer on their box. "No animals were harmed during the manufacture of this product!" Duh! They only LOOK like animals!

How many of us actually read the care instructions on our clothes? I hardly ever do. I think its good enough if I keep my colors and whites separated. But I think after finding these little gems I may pay closer attention! I just wish I knew why you wouldn't be able to use their shorts for sumo wrestling, and why a college students Jersey says basically, "You are a college student, but are dumb as a post, have mom do your laundry!" Uh, if they can drive, they can wash their own clothes!

Some men, for reasons I just can't fathom enjoy dressing in well...dresses! But if they decide to stroll down a sidewalk in Miami, Florida "dressed" up, they better make sure their dress has straps! A Miami city ordinance states, "No male is to be seen publicly in any kind of strapless dress or gown." So I guess if your dudedress has straps stroll down those streets of Miami with what is left of your pride!

While researching stupid warning labels I found these innocent products with not so innocent names! When naming your product you should make sure it actually described the product. Here are some very funny examples of names gone wrong!

I suppose if you live in a state with frequent  earthquakes like California, some things you just know to stop doing if a quake starts. However, being human, which occasionally means stupid, a disposable razor company decided to caution us. They placed a warning on their packages that reads, "DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT DURING AN EARTHQUAKE!" Maybe they should have added, "if you are shaving naked and an earthquake starts, drop razor, grab robe, and run outside!"

Sharing, such a wonderful thing to practice! But do not under any circumstances let anyone have a bite of your hamburger if you are in the state of Oklahoma! You see, it is not just frowned upon, it is ILLEGAL! In Oklahoma, "It is unlawful for any person to take a bite from another persons hamburger, and will NOT be tolerated!" So I guess maybe a loophole to this law could be, "If you are going to share...bring a knife?"
