Whilst cutting the grass/weeds today, I noticed the placard on the ride-on mower:
TO AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
GO UP AND DOWN SLOPES, NOT ACROSS.
AVOID SUDDEN TURNS. (I think there's something in that for all of us)
DO NOT MOW WHEN CHILDREN OR OTHERS ARE AROUND.
LOOK DOWN AND BEHIND BEFORE BACKING.
BE SURE THAT BLADES AND ENGINE ARE STOPPED BEFORE PLACING HANDS OR FEET NEAR BLADES.
There are many more, including one which I think is specifically for women:
NEVER CARRY CHILDREN, EVEN WITH BLADES OFF.
I think following a few simple rules like that is worth it, to avoid death.
Is this the secret to eternal life?

When I saw the title of the thread and clicked, I expected to see a person hiding alone in their flat with a very large supply of toilet paper...

Re: Is this the secret to eternal life?
It's always good to fully read the instructions and safety information on any product.
I recently purchased a packet of Sausage and Red Wine Pasta. The instructions stated,
1) Place into a pan of boiling water
2) Cook for 10 minutes until piping hot
3) Drain
4) Stir with a knob
The last item had me quite concerned and while I contemplated the logistics of standing on the stove,
I smoothed out the wrinkles in the packet and too my relief it read "of butter".
p.s. I used a Mitre Saw to put some daedo rail around the hallway. Like a wailing banshee at full tilt that is one piece of machinery not to approach lightly!

Hopefully one day we will look back and no longer understand why this was ever funny
