Duh!
Yes, you’ve seen them. Labels that make you say, “Duh!” I saw this label on a friend’s blowtorch. I guess the human race is dumbing down so much that we have to be told not to do things like putting our fingers into light sockets or (as seen on the treadmill at my gym) “If you pass out, stop exercising immediately.” Duh!

>From my experience over the years, it isn't the dumbing down of the human race, but our society's ever increasing litigiousness. I wonder, was it like that in South Africa Trevor?

Well, if things like this aren't stated on the product, you can sue the manufacturer if you don't use it properly, right? 'The manual didn't say I couldn't use it to dry my hair, mr. judge yourhonor (add innocent look here).' Why else do you think a manual is the size of a telephone-book? *Sigh*
