Was reading the "do not's" for my new pellet grill and one of them was "do not operate the grill while transporting it" No crap Sherlock... That idea would have never even crossed my mind. What other crazy ones have you read??

    You may scoff, but the warnings wouldn?t be there if some idiot hadn?t tried whatever at least once and gotten their lawyers involved.
    I have a friend who, once upon a time, regularly rode around with a Hibachi grill cooking steaks in the back while he drove...and a 3 foot tall bong between the front seats. (Believe it ir not, he?s still alive too!)

    Heck! We once did some grilling on a float in a big parade, traveling along and giving out hot dogs to many parade watchers!

    Also enjoyed grilling on my late FIL's old pontoon boat. Cruising, fishing, playing cards, and swimming! :o Oh yea, beer drinking included!

    What really pizzes me off has been all of the fricken warnings that Thompson Center and a few other gun makers have actually engraved permanently (and deeply) into the steel barrels of their products! Just another one of those deals where the small minority of short bus folks have screwed it to the rest of the population! :evil:

    That can't be right. It's like those roofers that get the tar melting on the way to the job. It's just being efficient. What's that term? Multitasking.

    good old American lawsuits always some one else's fault especially if a lawyer smells money

    I seem to recall one where a * picked up his push mower to trim the shrubs lost a few fingers and sued the company no label saying you could not do it :shock: :shock: :shock:

    This Plastic Bag, not to be used as a head/face covering. :o:lol: :roll:

    Really?


    I think that would depend entirely upon "intent". :D
