I had a cardboard windshield sun blocker, the kind that covers your entire windshield, and on the inner, non-reflective side it said, “Do not drive with cover in place.”
Some people are that stupid--but they won't be twice!

lol. there is no need for a sign with instructions there, in my opinion.
Perhaps the purpose of the sign was to preserve the plant.
From an old song: "Never squat while wearing spurs."
The depths or heights (depending on your point of view) of human stupidity know hardly any bounds. I first learned of this when I took my opening course in business law.
Cases in point:
An individual thought he could use his lawn mower as a hedge trimmer. He picked up the mower, started trimming, lost control, and lost four fingers on one hand. He sued the manufacturer of the lawn mower for failing to note that the mower should not be used for a hedge trimmer. The plaintiff prevailed at the circuit and appellate levels.
A company decided to scrap its old stamping press. They hired a scrap dealer to remove the press. The scrap dealer sold the still-usable press to a small company. An employee of that company defeated the lock-out feature on the press, and subsequently lost all his fingers while holding material in the press. He sued, and the original company which scrapped the press was held liable at the circuit and appellate court levels.
Ever wonder why things cost so much?
Great pix. I would add, don’t climb on saguaros, hug chollas or try to kiss rattlesnakes (apparently a dare for some college males).

Proves that Darwin was correct.

For most of us, it's a joke. For a few, it's educational. For the rest, it means they can't sue.

That's a slightly altered version of PT Barnum's saying. In his day, the word consumer hadn't come into vogue. If I remember correctly (and these days, that's no sure thing) he used American in place of consumer.
All right, I get the point.
