Funny...

Saw this on a Car sticker:
Support Search and Rescue. Get Lost!

And this on a piece of equipment in the gym:
Consult a physician before beginning a new exercise program.
Use Common Sense. Stop if you feel giddy, dizzy or faint.
Very direct; aren't we?


This at a fast food joint:
Timings:
Monday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Tuesday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Wednesday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Thursday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Friday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Saturday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.
Sunday 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.

Surely, they didn't know what to do with the rest of the page if they said
'All days of the week 9.00 A.M. to 9.00 P.M.'

Have you ever noticed the ads for the prescription drugs on TV ....
Side effects may include: hypertension.. unusual weight loss.. heart attack (!!!!) .... SUDDEN DEATH (nuts ?)!!!!!! (ex: Vioxx... Bextra.. check it out !)

crazy huh !

Gowri said...

Hehe :))Yeah....:) and the number of side effects indicated on some tablets beat the number of chemicals that go into them!!

Harish said...

well... true. we all get hundreds of mails like these... but then there are plausible explanations to these... I've been on the other end of these cases sometimes.
In some cases, to cover their asses legally, they have to put all the side effects. In any case, I thin it's the lesser of the evils. Think abt all the ppl who suffer bcoz they are not warned abt a substance in the product that they are alleergic to.
In the 9am-9pm case... it could be a franchise wide format for a menu... that was filled in specifically to the particular store outlet. It's cheaper for them to print this sometimes than to alter each to suit common sense.
Just possible explanations.
Also it's not exclusive to their wrnings.
Wot ant redundant coding and redundant commenting (to name a few crackerjack practices in the "intellectual" world!!

Baejaar said...

Shouldnt it be "9AM to 9PM EST" or whatever is the appropriate timezone to be specific and legally safe? Otherwise we can sue them ;-)

Gowri said...

Harish, Mohan: I agree, I agree :) I knew that the warning on the gym equipment and the the ones on tablets is a precautionary measure to avoid getting sued; but the one abt the timings chart, i didn't know. And I'm not at all saying that these things don't make sense, these ppl know from experience that it's better to be safe than sorry. Just that we r not used to seeing them in India, for obvious reasons.

Bejaar: There! Now u've found a loop-hole!

And I thought you saw those stickers only in the RP!! LOL

Gowri said...

What's RP??

Perhaps the repetition of those timings was only to 'butt'ress the point with certain asses who thought the joint was open 24 hrs! ;)

Ravi, u just proved that my reply to ur previous comment was an understatement! :))

I love your blog Gowri. How long has it been on-line? Reason I ask is I am doing a ton of work in the area of prescription weight loss pill and will probably end up starting a blog of my own. Funny how the internet brought me here when I was doing searches on prescription weight loss pill. Oh well, I am glad it did. Keep up the great blogging and I am sure I will visit this post again!!
