Don't let the kiddie-winks play in traffic

Walking like giant cranes - Dont Knife Children!
"I saw a safety label of one of my Daughters clothes and it said this. And I'm not joking, and I'm not hiding the names here: Marks & Spencers - 'IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY, IT IS ADVISABLE TO KEEP YOUR CHILD AWAY FROM FIRE OR FLAMES' ... ... Maybe clothing labels are going to be like fortune cookies."
This reminded me of the sign at the Scranton Cultural Center:
WP - 'It must've happened once'
If clothing labels do become like fortune cookies, I will refuse to read the tags inside dresses, considering my history with fortune cookies:
WP - Sexist fortune cookies
It also reminded me of the last time I was at the laundromat, a woman who was using one of the gargantuan washing machines said there was a little label on the washer that said something about not putting kids or animals in the washer, or something like that, (I didn't actually read the label myself). She got quite a kick out of the sign.
A building in which I used to live had a dryer in the laundry room with a warning label that actually made sense:

I certainly saw this coming, and I don't know much about building at all. Just seems like common sense. Though I have heard that only 7% of the population has that. (more)
