Subject: RE: BS: Ridiculous Warnings and Announcements
From the "Squirting Spouting Dolphin" I gave my sister several Chritmasses ago, "After playing the dolphin the batteries must be removed out." I bought the thing, partly for the instructions.

From the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, for their annual sale:
Whatever the Date
Is whatever you save
On everything
But Burma Shave

Written, of course, on a series of small, brown, signs. I don't think they really sell Burma Shave.

Re. lawsuits. I come from a long line of attorneys. One of the three pieces of legal advice I give out is, Next time your dog bites somebody, you can sue them for trying to poison your dog. Good luck finding a lawyer who will take your case, and a judge who won't throw it out of court, but you can try.
Some years back a lady claimed that an elderly cat at a local stationary store had scratched her, and she would require plastic surgery. The case was tossed out after 30 minutes, and the cat's defense fund, to which I was a significant contributer, went to local animal charities. The cat got a write up in "People" and became a celebrity feline.
His successor, Phineas Fogg scratched me. I was tickling his tummy at the time, so the scratch was entirely justified. Besides, I haven't been without a cat scratch, somewhere, since I was 7.
