An Inclusive Litany
8/15/99
A package of airline peanuts features the instructions, "Open packet
and eat contents," while the label on a jar of Saintsbury's peanuts
says, "Warning—contains nuts." The packaging for a Husquavarna
chain saw warns, "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands."
A bottle of flavored milk drink instructs, "After opening, keep
upright." A CycleAware helmet-mounted rear-view mirror warns,
"Remember—Objects in the mirror are actually behind you." A car
lock that loops around the clutch and steering wheel warns, "Remove
lock before driving." And finally, "This camera only works when
there is film inside."
