Mike - ...and you refill the curling iron the same way as you would refill a cigarette lighter! FL girl - Basher is correct - I have never seen those types of warnings in London like you see them here in the USA. Although people may not be any smarter, at least they are more likely to take responsibility for their actions over there. I am still trying to figure out why any person would put a hot cup of coffee between their legs while driving and then be surprised that it burns them when they spill it on themselves (that case was actually in the office of my former employer - we told Mickey D to settle, but to no avail). I also don't understand why a jury would have awarded Stella so much money for such a stupid act.

One of my favorites occurred at the college where a student, trying to moon fellow classmates, pulled down his pants and pressed his butt cheeks against a second floor window - too hard, I might add, resulting in him falling out the window to the pavement below. The school supposedly had to put warning labels on all of the school's windows advising the school populace not to do this in the future. Pretty sad...
