Tortish Benefits
The sole redeeming factor of our lawsuit centric society has finally been discovered...Humor:
The sign on the toilet brush says it best: "Do not use for personal hygiene."

That admonition was the winner of an anti-lawsuit group's contest for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year.

Second prize: A label on a children's scooter explaining that "This product moves when used."

Third prize: Advice from a digital thermometer suggesting that "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."

By the way, if you want well written stories regarding true, outrageous lawsuits, you really should check out the Stella Awards from by Randy Cassingham.

Heh.  Some of those are pretty good, like the iron which warns against ironing clothes while they are being worn, or the chainsaw which advised the operator not to try to stop the chain with their hand (always had a burning desire to do that!).
