"keyboard not found! press F1"

"if you are useing a touch tone phone, press 1. If not press 2"

on the back of some horribly shitty CD-r's there is a lable.
"not responsible for dataloss due to use of this product. Do not use for bootlegging!" yes they are the cheapest of the cheap, no case and just 100 of them shrink wraped.

on a needle/sharps box in a hospital
"may contain AIDS"

however my best one is
"bag is not a toy"

on blockbuster DVD's and games
"please rewind"

Given what happened last year in my town, a disposable barbeque should carry this message:

NOTE: MEAT MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY

as an idiot walked into the Kwik-Save in the middle of town, got a disposal barbecue and complained when he found it had no meat with it!

(an absolute classic!)

Which is not stupid at all. The computer won't function until a keyboard is present, so it tells the user to plug in a keyboard and press F1 to signal when he's ready to continue.

That's not all that dumb. Peanuts aren't actualy nuts themselves.

You see, some people have alergic reactions to nuts but not peanuts. Peanuts are often made in the same factory as nuts so there is a small chance of mixture. Thus the package is warning people about that.
