I bought a Home for the Criminally Insane and it had the same warning on the packet!

Do you take regular Insane or is it just Criminally?
Where do I sign up?

Oddly I bought a 3kg bag of UNF fixings with the same warning.

I've got a pair of pants like that!

I think you should give your wife her pants back.

Any relationship based on who wears the pants is bound to fail. It's not wearing pants that is the key.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

One message "You could be a winner! No purchase nesessary. Details inside." is not as stupid as it may seem. If you have to buy something to win [a product, a ticket, a politician] then it stops being being a straight competition and becomes gambling and as you know gambling 'is bad'.
IIRC this method was first used in the Merca but has spread over here as well.

You are correct, more here [^]

Peanuts aren't nuts, so the label is valid. Technically, peanuts are legumes.
|

Wise words master. I endeavour to offer peanuts to anyone claiming a nut allergy.

We had a melon salad on Sunday - Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats Cheese - and it was damned good.
|
|
|
|
|
I read that as...
"Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats, Cheese - and it was damned good."
I needed to read it again to realize it wasn't goats and cheese. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I guess the Moroccan Lamb I made could have been done with goat. *Vilmos thunks*

A co-worker is allergic to tree nuts, not ground nuts (such as peanuts),
So, there IS a significant difference...
|

No, the warning is correct. Peanuts are legumes[^], not nuts. If there were only peanuts, the warning would not be needed.

I had a packet of Walnuts and Almonds with the disclaimer:
May contain sunflower seeds. 
You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away

Walkers Crisps should put a "may contain Crisps" warning on their packets.

They do seem to be getting rather light and empty, don't they?

Would that politically correct.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
