    That's like McDonalds having to put on their coffee cups " Caution the contents may be hot" after being succesfully sued.

    I'd have complained if the contents weren't hot.

    Was on an Emirates flight about twelve years ago and they gave us a bag of smoked almonds, to enjoy with our beverage, and the package clearly stated

    Warning: Product contains Nuts

    I asked about the madness of this, and the stewardess pointed out that it was a legal requirement to stop "stupid Americans suing them".

    This has stuck with me to this day,

    If you think that's bleeding obvious, check out this picture I took of a parking meter in Port Stephens NSW

    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    Bought a plastic Tupperware type of container from Woollies last year - on the sticker glued to the lid was "Remove lid before using" - this ranked right up there on the stupidity meter for me.

    Love 'em.

    Like Ron's, I picked up a pack of bar nuts recently and it had the same warning: May contain traces of nuts.
    Cheers, Ern

    Not quite on the same subject (the bleeding obvious) but in a similar vein:

    There's a small reserve near work. There's a large sign at said reserve that states: "Absolutely no ball games of any sort to be played on this reserve".
    The sign hangs on the fence surrounding a couple of tennis courts
