It's perfect that you posted this now, because I'm going to hell for thinking this is funny (it's on the same subject).

the funniest warning sticker I’ve found has been on my grandfather’s Bush Hog, where advice to stay away from the axle is illustrated with a picture of Poor Mr. Stick Figure wrapped no fewer than three times around said axle. And he has those “distress! Oh, no!” lines coming out from his head as if to assure us that, yes, getting wrapped three times around the axle of an industrial brush cutter is extremely uncomfortable.

Oh my god. I love that warning label.

My favorite was on one of my saws, I think. It was a stick figure holding up its arm with drops of blood fountaining from the end. The funny thing about it was the lack of distress lines…

To date, the funniest warning sticker I’ve found has been on my grandfather’s Bush Hog, where advice to stay away from the axle is illustrated with a picture of Poor Mr. Stick Figure wrapped no fewer than three times around said axle. And he has those “distress! Oh, no!” lines coming out from his head as if to assure us that, yes, getting wrapped three times around the axle of an industrial brush cutter is extremely uncomfortable.

I do also love the sticker on the backs of the visors in my car warning me not to put a baby seat in the front seat. Apparently, the airbag knocks the baby’s head clear off, resulting in more “distress” lines. I guess that’s uncomfortable, too.

Our cat used to have intimate moments with teddy bears and went catnippy over my husband’s used t-shirts.

I’ve heard of cats intently licking/chewing on wool sweaters, but I too thought my cats were the only did that. The others didn’t do it until we got our third, who already had the habit.

Our cat is an incurable plastic-licker too! (Actually, as I look over, he’s licking the wrapping the toilet paper comes with right now.)

I’d never heard of other cats doing it and I thought it was just Gatsby. Proof that there’s not just feminist learning to be had here.

My cats like to lick them. It’s so hilarious, because they go all cross-eyed staring intently at it, and you see their little tongue flicking out from the other side of the clear bag.
I’m laughing a little right now just thinking about it.
Omg, I thought I was the only one whose cat did that. My cat would go mental for plastic.

There’s a children’s hospital in my neighborhood (the Longwood area in Boston), and nearby is a big yellow sign basically saying “Please give your baby to a nurse, we won’t ask questions, just pleeeease don’t leave it on the street D: “

By the way, code pink in hospital-speak is an alert that a baby has been stolen.
