i've always seen this attributed to a batman costume, which is even funnier cuz batman can't fly..

On a Swedish chain saw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain
with your hands or genitals".


who was attempting to stop chain saws with their genitals prior to reading this warning? the world is probably better off with them not using their genitals anyway

I think it should read

to stop chain
apply genitals in
a lateral motion
as needed.

way I figure it
anyone who is
stupid enough to
follow it
should be
having kids

if it comes
to applying my
genitals or
buying a new chainsaw
I am
buying a new chainsaw
every damn time

but
maybe thats
just me

anyone who is stupid enough to follow it [?]

My sister forwarded me an email in this vein, once, and the funniest section I remember was a warning label on a blanket - "Not to be used as protection against hurricane."
