The power turns on. Note: To avoid injury, do not connect the adapter to a ceiling outlet. My gosh! A new thing to worry about.

From generic antenna installation instructions, from www.terrestrial-digital.com After a page of warnings about grounding, power lines and windy days, more warnings: WARNING Do not attempt to install if drunk, pregnant or both. Do not eat antenna. Do not throw antenna at spouse.

A new thing to worry about. Do you want to be hit in the head when the wall wart falls out of a crappy outlet? :) -- Offworld checks no longer accepted!

I guess that's one of those "direct translation from the Chinese" things, but here's a serious one I saw the other day on a building compound gate at my local supermarket where they are doing some refurbing. It said "No alcohol or drugs to be used on this site" What is the world coming to ? My wife won a toy radio controlled car at the bingo last weekend. Some of the instructions on that box were hysterical, but she's given it away now, so unfortunately, I can't share :-( That was mine to play with ... Arfa

To me, a sign like that constitutes fair and legal notice to workmen that they can be lawfully dismissed (fired) if they're using on the job. Without such notice, they can readily defend themselves simply by saying they were never advised that drinking wasn't allowed by company policy. It also likely fulfills insurance policy requirements. I saw a book a few years ago titled "How to Hire and Fire in California Without Getting Sued." An example: An employee comes in late three days a week, and has many unexcused absences. If you fire him for it, you'd better have documented proof that you've kept attendance records on all employees, to prove you didn't single him out. Also proof that he received the company policy manual that clearly states acceptable and unacceptable levels of tardiness and absenteeism. But you probably knew all that, and were just being rhetorical. |
