I was also single and had a 1983 Honda Accord that I just thought was the bee's knees because it had electric everything AND cruise. So I would keep it spotless. I even cleaned the air vents with Q-tips to keep the dust out. <BR/><BR/>So, one day I went out before work to vacuum it (though I am sure it was cleaner than my minivan now on the best of days), with my hair in a ponytail and my trusty Dirt Devil handheld in hand. I began vacuuming the driver's seat when my ponytail flipped forward and was sucked up by the Dirt Devil. Since it was hopping around on my head, beating the crap out of me, I couldn't get to that teeny little off switch, and when I tried to pull it out of the wall plug, the cord had gotten under the back tires because the plug was on the other side of the car.<BR/><BR/>By the time I finally ran over there and pulled out the plug, the thing had started to smoke. As I unrolled my charred ponytail from the beater bar, I figured that if I could write a letter to Royal, I might get myself a replacement in exchange for what most assuredly became a fixture on the break room wall. They did send a new one, with a sticker that has been on them ever since: "Keep hair away from beater bar."<BR/><BR/>Yep.

And I was previously just as distraught by the fact that they bother to spell out warnings such as "do not ingest" on packets of silica beads, imagining that surely someone must've tried it at least once to justify such a label. For the sake of humanity, I hope they can print a picture of someone puking their guts out after eating a pack of those small enough to fit it on there, or apparently, we're screwed. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's the test. You know, THE TEST. Get everyone to rely on little pictograms to tell them what's what, then make some kind of poison cereal that warns "Do not consume" in plain un-illustrated English. The folks that die are the stupid ones.mrstracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04385821868035851703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26532377.post-15630528331778832632007-02-13T20:54:00.000-06:002007-02-13T20:54:00.000-06:00I agree with Dave, kind of, except I think it's th...I agree with Dave, kind of, except I think it's the consumers AND the producers that don't speak English, and fear of litigation is the universal language.<BR/><BR/>Also, I find that dog sign highly realistic.
