Subject:HUMOR: Sort of... From:Beverly Parks <bparks -at- HUACHUCA-EMH1 -dot- ARMY -dot- MIL> Date:Thu, 20 Jul 1995 11:55:37 MST
I'm reading the August issue of Consumer Reports magazine. On
the back page is a picture of a clear plastic bag that was the
packaging for a wallet. In big, bold letters on the plastic bag
was the following:
THIS IS NOT A TOY, ETC.
CU's narrative:
Hey, whatever.
This message, apparently from a writer who ran out of steam,
appeared on a plastic bag holding a wallet bought by a
Michigan reader. The more conventional wording advises
people to keep plastic bags away from children bacause of the
danger of suffocation.
