hahaha, I got an e-mail once with this whole list of things people had sued for and won it was amusing.

This one was this gentleman sued and got an awful lot of money for it when he won. He brought this new winnabago (no idea how to spell it but one of those large campervan things!) and he was driving along, he put it onto Curise control and went out the back to make a cup of tea. Consequently the campervan thing went off the road and crashed, this man sued the campervan company for not saying you can't do that!

My favourite was on the Sweedish Chainsaw:

"Do not operate near genitals."

I've seen a couple of really stupid ones...

For example, a certain american airline served little bags of peanuts on their flights. On the peanut packaging, was the warning "May contain traces of nuts."

And another... I forget what the product was, but on the bottom of the container it said "Do not turn upside down."

I cannot find the one I wanted.

But the laws in this country are sometimes really odd.

We mentioned comic strips and Mc Donalds

Here is a bit of both

http://www.sfgate.com/columnists/farley/

It is a daily cartoon. Very political - usually. The raven is Bruce and the chicks are - I don't know. But they live in the Presidio of San Francisco. About 6 blocks from the KFC on Lombard.

This particular KFC is 1 block (100 yards) from Eddie's middle school.

When you read the strip daily. There are a host of animal and human characters. One was "His Willieness" - former mayor Willie Brown. Feral pigs in Marin. Yes there are feral wild boar in Marin county. Hilda the Bear who is a great fan of the baseball team, the San Francisco giants. Farley is also a character. Once Hilda had a crush on Farley and went in for hair removal. NOT a pretty sight.
