Better than today's headline about some guys who tried to smuggle $10,000 worth of cocaine in a Christmas card is this article on Newsweek.com:
'Avoid Death' is named wackiest label
'Danger: Avoid Death' is chosen as nation's wackiest warning label
By RON VAMPLE Associated Press Writer AP
A warning on a small tractor that reads "Danger: Avoid Death" has been chosen as the nation's wackiest warning label by an anti-lawsuit group.
The Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its 11th year, is conducted by Novi-based Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch as part of an effort to show the effects of lawsuits on warning labels.
Kevin Soave of Farmington Hills, a Detroit suburb, won the $500 grand prize for submitting the winning label.

The $250 second place was given to Carrianne, Jacob and Robby Turin of Greensburg, Pa., for a label they found on an iron-on T-shirt transfer that warns: "Do not iron while wearing shirt."
Richard Goodnow of Lancaster, Mass., earned the $100 third-place prize for a label on a baby stroller featuring a small storage pouch that warns: "Do not put child in bag."
Contest organizer Bob Dorigo Jones says the silly labels reflect how broken America's civil justice system is.

But I always iron my shirts while wearing them!
I still like the Viagra commercials-"Seek medical attention if you have an erection last 4 hours or more."
