if you are allergic.....

If you are allergic to any ingredient in this product, DO NOT USE.
This is an actual warning on a bottle of contact lens solution. Are there actually people out there that would use something knowing that they were allergic to it? Would some one really think "I'm allergic to peanuts but what the hell, I'll have a Snicker bar, surely the Mars company wouldn't put peanuts in it."

I think if you're stupid enough to need this warning, it wouldn't be of much help to you anyway. If you're not smart enough to figure out the obvious, we got to have a bunch of warnings and regulations to protect ya. Then there's a butt-load of lawers just sittin around waiting on some one to do something stupid so they can sue somebody who wasn't at fault to start with. Ever heard of evolution? If we'd quit letting all the stupid people come up with excuses, we'd weed them out eventually or most would wise up some anyhow.

You can get out of a crime by "innocent by reason of insanity", there should be a "guilty by reason of stupidity.

That scared the hell out of me for a second until I saw it said Members Mark and not Makers Mark. Thought I was going to have to cut back.

i guess if you're allergic to corn, you should lay off the maker's mark.
