Where's Rod Serling?
Bought one of those jazzy glue roller bottles the other day. Now I
understand why Norm's projects drip and squeeze. As I cleaned the shop I noticed the following on the cardboard insert: "WARNING: Using hand tools can be dangerous. Always be careful and keep away from children. Use protective eyewear at all times and select the right tool for the job." It's a flippin glue bottle!!!! |

It's a flippin glue bottle!!!! The reason for eye protection is not because the bottle will harm you, but to remind yourself not to rub your eye with your gluey hands...

In fact your mind might be attacked by reading these lines. You can't be too careful! Look down- watch your feet. Look up-watch that beam. Wear ear plugs-even when there's no noise. Listen for- warning signs. |

I would never use a glue bottle without eye protection. Why, what if you wanted to know how much glue was in that bottle? Of course, you'd hold it up to your eye and tilt it up to the light so you could see inside, wouldn't you? And the next thing you know, all that glue would just come pouring out right into your eye, and then where would you be? It's careless people like you who give woodworking a bad reputation for safety. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Next, I suppose you'll tell us that you don't where hearing protection when you use a screwdriver. To reply by e-mail, use jcarlson631 at yahoo dot com John |

Some warning labels I've put under a microscope to read, the damn printing is so small. |

I just bought a Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player and in the manual it says

Wash hands after handling. Yeah, that's the famous California Chicken Little Warning--almost _everything_ sold in CA is required by law to have that warning or a similar one on it. It's so ubiquitous that it destroys the utility of such warnings. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

Next, I suppose you'll tell us that you
don't where hearing protection when you use a screwdriver. Of course I do. What would happen if the hammer slipped? -- Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. John Lennon --- avast!

I will always remember the large sign on the gate of a "safari park" (you drive around in your car and see the lions, tigers, etc roaming around unhindered) I took my daughter to. WARNING! GIVEN HALF A CHANCE THESE ANIMALS WILL KILL YOU! No rolled down windows that day, I guarantee you. FoggyTown |

Anyone see the story on History (or was it Discover) channel about what happens when lead isn't in solder? Tin whiskering. That's going to cause some of our high tech gadgets to no work. And lead in PVC. Cord flex life is already a problem. Take lead out and it's gonna get bigger. |
