Or the "Baby On Board" sign. It either means:

1 - Steal my baby please.
2 - If in a tragic accident, please look for the baby.

A completely worthless piece of plastic.

When I see a Baby on Board sign, it gets my attention.

"Oh, I was going to ram into you because you're driving in the left lane with your blinker on going 35 in a 50, but since you've got a baby on board I'll try to hold back.

I ranted at a newly-babed mother friend about this recently, and she said it was really so emergency people knew there was a baby in the car if there was a crash.

NB i don't believe this for a second. Don;t you hate new parents?

Well of course! We all know that in accidents WITHOUT baby on board signs, all small passengers are left to die. Also, without the sign, obvious clues such as CAR SEATS and TOYS are automatically ignored by emergency personnel. :lol:

Sadly, this is probably the same logic as that which makes pecan pies have "may contain nuts" labels on them...

Well pecans might not be considered nuts in other places

Unless they thought it was a pie from the tree...

It's not just pecans though, I kid you not when I say there are warnings on the sides of bags of pistachios that say "may contain traces of nuts", or fruit and nut chocolate that has a warning to the effect that their factory handles nuts.

I really think that if people are THAT stupid, we should just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem sort itself out, the natural way.

...and it's "pi-KAWN"...not "PEE-can".

I think with the countless way that people sue companies for stupid shit

They (the Companies) cover there ass with stupid statements

Thats all I can think of :lol:

It's like the hammers that have the warning "Do not attempt to swallow" on them.
