That is almost as good as my all time favorite product warning:

On a chainsaw:

"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

In view of the fact that most product warnings arise from previous incidents, I'm trying very hard to not think about exactly how this one originated!

it was all fun and games, "betcha ya won't do this, Timmy", until Timmy castrated himself with a 16" McCulloch... it would have stopped sooner, but the chain was self-lubricating..
