Not really a warning lable, but at a small park near my house there is a sign that says, "no bicycling, Rallerblading, skarboarding or Air Guitar"

"Light fuse, get away."

I like reading the warning lable on a disposable lighter. They didn't have those when they first came out. It's a list of a few of the many stupid things people have done with them.

On a superman costume for children - a note to the parents:

'WARNING: This product will not enable your child to fly!'

Seriously, I have seen this.

On this microwave pasta.
WARNING: Product will be hot.
I'd say that's a given, since you put it in a microwave.

I was in the Vancouver musieum, and I was looking at an antique medicine bottle. On the outside of the bottle, it said, "Internal/External".
