Default can people not read anymore???

I put an add in craigslist for large bottles,jugs,jars 2 gallon or more and I've got like 6 replies with people wanting to sell me used wine bottles regular 750 ml not large bottles at all. I mean really what gives one guy wanted to sell me 30 used 750ml bottles for $25 and said he could get all I needed if I wanted. I mean really what does a person have to do to get people to read stuff before they open their mouth and stick both feet in.
It's people like this that make you wanna
I tell ya gonna step down and get my BP back down

I'm all for removing the warning labels and weeding out the population.
Here's your sign.

I'm just wondering how many women would die if you took the " Do not use hairdryer in shower" warning off???

I'm not convinced that they are taught "Readin, Ritin, and Rithmetic" in the schools anymore.

I was standing in a hospital hall last year beside (ie not in front of) a sign that said "Emergency Room ===>" in big letters. Care to guess what I was asked? Of course, it was "Which way is the Emergency Room?"

ah...warning labels....i used to own some gas stations.....we used to have just a few labels on the pumps...what type of gas...the octane...a weights and measure sticker....a do not smoke one......20 yrs later, there were so many stickers that it looked like graffiti...things had to be combined, because no one was reading them anyway...the worst offense...and that still exists is the person who is rests their hand on the the gas nozzle and in between the fingers in that *same* hand is a lit cigarette.......i used to see that over and over again.... cant tell you how many shouting matches i got in over that

what part of no smoking do you not understand?
