Those are very funny! I really like: "For external use only!" -- On a curling iron.
Makes my eyes water at bit though.
My dad always said to me, 'You're only as old as the woman you feel.' Apologies to any women in here ... But he really did say that! I can't help it if my family is disfunctional.

My Grandfather laid a couple of heavies on me when I was growing up. During my very first week of public school He said: You can not do anything about the weather, nor can you do anything about the way that people feel about you.
You can not change these things you just have to learn to deal with them.
He also said to me at the end of my teenage years; You will never really be a man until your emotions, vanity, ego, and penis can be kept under your mind's continuous control at all times.
I grew up watching my grandfather deal with his superhuman wife, my mother and her five sisters and an even then corrupt government. Today, American men, like him, are truly as scarce as hen's teeth.
- 02-12-2006 #5I only wish I'd known my grandfather half as well as that. He was the product of Victorian parents, and tended to hide behind his newspaper a lot. On the other hand he was unusual because he was an English socialist, and spent his life trying to improve things for poor working class people. Very strict though.

Hehe funny,
My all time favourite is:
"Please keep out of children." -- On a butcher knife.
and this I have personally seen:
"Please store in the cold section of the refrigerator." -- On a bag of fresh grapes in Australia.Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.
