Indeedy ... my fave is the sticker on the Suzuki Hayabusa (early ones do
200 mph +, later ones are restricted to 186 mph) ... "Do not operate
this motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs" ... yeah,
coz if you're the sort of person who likes riding a 200 mph bike while
stoned and/or pissed, a sticker is *so* going to make you think twice :)

Or the classic, on hotel hairdryers: "do not use this appliance while in
the bath or shower" (!)
