I went fishing this afternoon.
On the way to Willard Bay, I stopped at Maverik and got a Styrofoam container full of mud balls and a dozen night crawlers.
When I got on the water I set up a bottom bouncer weight with a double worm hook. When I pulled the top off the worm can, I read the label. "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION"
OK, lets get this straight. We aren't supposed to eat the worms. I kind of thought that was self-explanetary.
So I baited my hook and cast it into the water. Then my mind started racing. I've heard that for every disclaimer there was an associated lawsuit. People hire attorneys for every conceivable shortcoming. I just heard about a lady suing an airline because she fell asleep on her flight and the stewardess failed to wake her. She was on the plane four hours after it landed, still sleeping. I don't think she has a case.
Then I remembered McDonalds getting sued for a woman spilling hot coffee between her legs. That is why all the coffee cups now say, "CAUTION: CONTENTS MAY BE HOT"
So now my Styrofoam worm can says "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION" What human ate the night crawlers and then sued the worm company? Whoever wins a lawsuit like that should have to wear a sign for the rest of their lives that says, "WARNING, I REQUIRE SUPERFLUOUS DISCLAIMERS FOR MY OWN SURVIVAL" The back of the sign would need to say, "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION"
