    As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, “Do not use while sleeping.”

    Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn’t enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.

      I’ve never seen any warnings etched into guns before, but I haven’t seen any newer guns made since like the mid 90s.

      All I’ve ever seen etched into guns was the brand name, ammo size, serial number, and where the safety button/switch is.

          Fair enough. I was never a gun enthusiast, but my late father had like 5 different older guns I got to try out back in the day. 🤷‍♂️
