A few things that were shared by one of my sister-in-laws...


1.   I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people...I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

2.  I changed my car horn to gun shot sounds; people move out of the way much faster now.

3.  You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by watching her hands.  For instance, if they are holding a gun, she's probable angry.

4.  I don't like making plans for the day, because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

5.  I didn't make it to the gym today.
    That makes 5 years in a row.

6.  Sometimes you have to burn a few bridges to keep the crazies from following you.

Excellent!

One of the things that led me to start looking with suspicion at the goobs was the warning label on gas cans..That all got started after BABIES drank gasoline,, every week or 2, a report, some baby done DIED from drinking gas,, somehow, after they made the manufacturers comply with a warning label, why,, them babies quit dying! They stopped drinking the gas,, My grampa had a little store in Humble Texas,, I was in 6th grade, so, about 60 or 61 I guess,,Maybe 62.
Did babies really die or was it made up crap? Did they suddenly learn to read or did people stop leaving gas cans where kids could drink from them?
Is there anyone who could mistake gas for something that should be drank?
I thot the spit, coff, gag response to gasoline was consistent thruout all ages..

That explains the warning labels,, doesnt explain the horror I remember feeling when I heard about some kid dead because of drinking gas..

I'm glad your child wasn't seriously hurt, and I've got nothing in particular against child proof lids, but the example you cite has nothing whatever to do with either warning labels or such lids. YOU left the open container of acetone where your child could get it and your wife sent him out to the garage where you were busy working on something. If you hadn't seen him pick up the container whatever might have happened would have been casused by lack of parental supervision.

Labels and such are not a substitute for personal responsibility.

If I had not read the label I would not have called poison control because he didn't drink any. I was not sure if acetone could be absorbed, or how fast it could be absorbed, through the skin.

I got a 2 year old little critter that lives with me half the time. He's my shadow. He can open the lid on a medicine bottle faster than I can. I just have to keep it where he cant reach it.
