Ok, we've all seen those irritating mass forward e-mails about dumb warning labels. Do not use hair dryer in bathtub, do not smoke while using hairspray, coffee may be hot, etc, etc, etc. While these may seem like common sense, at least you can foresee yourself in a circumstance where it just might be relevant. Today, though, I saw the grandaddy of all strange warnings.
It just so happens that today is Shark Attack Sunday on the Discovery channel, which means it is Holly Will Not Leave the TV Except to Pee Sunday at the Clay-Buck house. So this show comes on about cameramen wanting to film great whites outside of their diving cage. It is preceded by this:
WARNING!
These are professional divers. Do not attempt this at home.
Do not attempt WHAT at home, pray tell? Really, what is it that I am not supposed to do--put a 3000 lb shark in the tub and hang out? And even if you COULD attempt filming great whites outside of the cage in your home, haven't you already done something monumentally stupid (read: awesome)--like bring a shark into your house? "Oh, yeah, I got a 19 footer in the swimming pool. Love to show you pictures, but the Discovery channel said it was too dangerous to take them."
I personally believe that if you find yourself in a situation where you CAN take pictures of a great white shark up close outside of a divers' cage, maybe you should. At least then the coroner will know why you are missing 3/4 of your rib cage.
