Two more I can recall at the moment.

•Every vitamin bottle I get has one of those little paper packets or plastic covered packets of grainy stuff (silica?) that absorbs moisture to keep the other contents dry. In big letters on each packet it says "DO NOT EAT." It's hard for me to imagine how anyone old enough to read could think of eating one of them! ( I suppose some of these silly signs are just lawsuit protection.)

•Sometimes I find signs on the inside of doors at the outer walls of buildings saying "DO NOT ENTER." They mean "Do not go through this door from this side," of course, but I always wonder why they do not just say "Please use other door" or (if you're not supposed to go out that door at all) "NO EXIT." What would you be "entering" if you went out of the building through that door?
