Wacky Windsor Warnings

I am sure that you saw the story in the Star about the winning entries in the Wacky Warning Label Contest, run by an anti-lawsuit group, M-Law in Michigan. (Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch). The winning entry was a warning label on a washing machine at a laundromat that warns, “Do not put any person in this washer.” It is an actual sign shown in a photograph on their website.

I was walking around the City the other day and saw a bunch of other wacky warning signs and thought I share them with you. If you have found any, please be sure to send them along.


  1. Keep in camera darkroom door closed to the public, light of day will destroy what we are developing inside

  2. Too much lying will make your nose grow longer

  3. (Sign at entrance to City Hall) Danger: Memory Loss Area

  4. (Sign at exit from City Hall) Danger: But I forgot why

  5. Lying is hazardous to your political health

  6. Cry of Windsor-Essex County Health Unit tobacco program enforcers as they lay charges: We're smokin'

  7. Bleach must not be used instead of Mayo in egg salad sandwiches

  9. (When citizens speak at Council) Ear protection must be worn

  10. Payday loans at the new Arena

  11. (New confidentiality clause in City contracts to be determined by the Privacy Commissioner) Information in this contract is confidential and may be legally privileged. Or maybe it is not and cannot be.
  12. Excessive Blackberry use at Council sessions may injure your fingers

  13. DRIC crosing ahead: Troubled bridge over water

  14. Purchasing by-law, what puchasing by-law

  15. Short-term Detroit-Windsor Tunnel loan: bridge financing
