Chair Humor

Okay, enough political stuff. This blog needs something totally unimportant, and I've got just the thing.

I was sitting here at the computer like I tend to do for most of the day, and I happened to notice a sticker on the bottom of my chair. I pulled it off and discovered that it had a bunch of warnings on it pertaining to the chair. Here's what the sticker says (caps and bold font added to match the original text):

WARNING: SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR IF FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS

-This chair is designed for sitting only. Do not stand on this chair. Do not use it as a step ladder. (all right, I must confess that I have, in the past, stood on the chair, but I had to kill a spider on the ceiling and I didn't have anything else high enough)

-Do not use this chair unless all bolts and parts are firmly tightened. Check and retighten all bolts and parts at least every 3 months. (Oh, crap! I've had this chair for 10 months and I've never inspected it! I could be in danger!)

-If any parts are missing, damaged, or worn, stop using this chair. Repair the chair with manufacturer supplied parts.

-Do not sit on the arm rest of this product.

-This chair is designed for seating one person at a time.

What would we do without safety warnings?

Let me know when you are ready for some help. right now I can do some real quick stylesheet tweaks for margins and paddings and borders, etc. Nothing with color schemes... that's you deal.

I have a few other projects on board that I need to finish befire I can do anything real complicated or time consuming. Later..

We can thank that clumbsy ol' broad (and some silly jurors) who sued McDonald's because she spilled hot coffee on her lap while driving for all the warnings and the tepid coffee we have to drink. C.Y.A. is the rule now.
