The following is part of the warning instructions for the washing machine at the Y where I work.
Failure to operate this machine according to the Instruction Handbooks or the work safety and hygiene standards and COMMON SENSE (emphasis mine) may result in conditions which CAN PRODUCE bodily injury or loss of life.
I love it. Common sense is usually not part of a warning but if every body put this on their products it would cover so many issues. You wouldn’t need to put a warning on a hair dryer like “Don’t use in the shower” or Preparation H’s “Don’t use orally” All these warnings are on these products because someone tried to do it. With this warning you could just say, “Is it common sense to use something that uses electricity in the shower? No you will die.” or “Is it common sense to put a gel in your mouth that is used to cause things in you butt decrease in size? No you will get sick, or a really small mouth.” I love it.
