Summary: Get it from the library, if you must get it..
Review: I borrowed this book from the library expecting a lot more. Too much more, maybe. It reads like one of those meditation-a-day style books with a meditation (dumb label) on each page and really isn't very funny. Sure, there were a few good cracks on really dumb labels, but for the mostpart I felt that the authors were far reaching into labels that had every right to be attached to the particular product. I found myself thinking.. "What's wrong with that?" and "I understand why they have that label there".

Who knows.. maybe I've become immune to labels in a country where everyone is suing everyone else!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cute, but that's about it
Review: We all know that there is a plethora of items out there with ridiculous warning labels on them. Everything from the hair dryer that warns you not to use it while in the shower to the contraceptive jelly that warns against ingestion. This is the litigious nature of our society. Some of the warnings in this book are truly funny, a few will get a chuckle out of you, but most are just kind of blah. More fun is to go out and find the ludicrous warnings yourself and then try to imagine the person/people to whom these warnings are directed. It will likely make you wonder how the human race has survived this long and just how much longer we can make it.
