That one makes me chuckle every time...

I've noticed a trend of putting a big red sticker above the taps on a sink saying "CAUTION, WATER MAY BE HOT".

Do people really not know that hot taps have hot water running from them?

Saying that, i'm sure I remember some plonker suing McDonalds after getting scalded by coffee.

Do you have to ask specificaly for a hot coffee now and he was expecting a nice cold cuppa...

On my hot air stripper it said "Caution do no use as hair dryer" :huf:

We have bought a babies toys that state not suitable for children under 36 months. :dunno:

These sound like legal statement in case of lawsuits.......but it makes society look stupid.

Maybe that's because it really is :lol:

Ok if we're getting crazy...

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin.

I have not got an average body :worried:

I have two arms and two legs which is above avereage in both cases :think:

Because there are many people who are unfortunately missing one the avereage is less than two in both cases.
