WARNING

Christmas Cards are a serious FIRE HAZZARD.

It's recommended that you do not send any Christmas Cards, unless they
have been treated with an approved fire retardent material, and the
cards have the U.L. sticker on them. If you receive Christmas cards
in the mail, DO NOT bring them into your home. Check them outdoors to
see if they have the U.L. sticker on them. If not, dispose of them in
a fireproof metal trash container immediately.

Christmas cards are made from a flammable material known as paper.
According to MSDS fact sheets, paper is classified as a highly
flammable material. Do not allow this material in your home unless
it's been treated with a flame-proof substance.

If you must bring one of these non-flame treated cards inside your
home, place them inside a solid metal fireproof container and keep
away from heat and flame. Do not remove the card from this box inside
the home at any time. Take the container outdoors in an area that
does not contain any flammable materials before opening the container.

While this is very funny, it's sad to think that what caused this type of
joke is the fact that we've allowed such paranoia to infiltrate our lives.
And yes, WE are the one who did it by allowing it. There are many, many
examples of product warnings that are legitimate, and just as rediculous as
this one.

I've got a whole string of these Christmas related things. One is a
waiver Santa has to sign releiving me of responsibility for
weight-related heatlh problems if I give him cookies, etc. etc. etc.
Sad commentary.

This year, I'm noticing that every new string of holiday lights comes
with four or five stickers on the cord. They're all hard to remove,
except the one you might really want to keep on there.

There's a little bag of extra bulbs and fuses, and some have
extraneous twisters wrapped around them (and they often come out MORE
tangled than last year's lights I store with no twisters). There's the
box and 1 or 2 useless additional bits of paper or plastic (just to
make them look good IN THE BOX). Maybe even all in a plastic bag
within the box.

I always have a lot of trash to put out after thanksgiving (after
putting out holiday lights).

Multiple studies have shown that 100% of cancer victims have been
exposed to a dangerous chemical known as dihydrogen oxide sometime in
their lives. This chemical, used in many industrial processes, should
be banned.

Actually it has been unequivocably proven that laboratory rats cause
cancer.

Somewhere, I seem to have heard of a chemical that DOESN'T cause
cancer. Have you heard of that?

They have also drank milk. Milk should be banned. And cotton. They have
all worn cotton at one time or another. Cotton should be banned.

No problemo, I can get you all of the counterfeit UL seal you want straight
from China. They are especially nice looking on household extension cords.
They make such a lovely shade of dancing + yellow when they burn then set
fire to your X-mas tree. Gosh you are right, better keep those X-mas cards
in a metal explosion proof chemical locker.
