I think every Squier Bronco should come with a sticker on the back saying " Not fit for human consumption ".

Warnings we might not need

Oh I know it. My dog has arthritis pain and takes a drug that's either a narcotic or not, depending on who you ask. The feds consider it a controlled substance, so when I went to pick it up at the pharmacy yesterday the nice lady said 'We're going to need Cody's signa- oh wait.' I replied that he was waiting in the car; would a paw print do? And sure enough, all the warning labels were affixed: alcohol, cars and heavy machinery, pregnancy.
He was driving like such a good boy, until suddenly crossing the road:
SQUIRREL!
Love it!!
It's not uncommon for humans to ingest animal medications, as the same drug may be marketed on both. It may be much easier to obtain, or be significantly cheaper.

Yeah, I get it. But what's funny in this case is that a year ago I was prescribed this drug for surgical recovery. I had said 'No narcotics!' and this one (that either is or isn't, depending on who you ask) got foisted on me at the end of a discussion that went 'I'll be fine, really' followed by 'No seriously you'll need this' followed by 'No seriously I won't take it' followed by 'But what if you change your mind and it's 2pm on a Sunday' followed by my taking the stuff home just to get the other person to shut up.
Didn't need any, didn't take any, and was about to dump them at the cop shop when the dog's vet prescribed it for him for his arthritis pain. Conveniently, I had this bottle (of 50!) on hand. So I read him the label and shoved one down his throat.
Came out of surgery with a red button next to my bed. The nurse told me to push the button if when the pain hit me. I told I wasn't going to and kind of arrogantly told her I don't use mind altering drugs. It's good thing there was a timer on that button, otherwise I probably would have overdosed.
When it was time for me to leave they gave a pill and a while later they asked me if I was still in pain. I said yes so they gave me a shot of morphine in the butt. It wasn't nearly as fun as the drip morphine. I did get kind of itchy and had a overwhelming desire to steal a sound system out of a car.
I was coming here to post this one, but figured I should search first and see if someone else caught it.
We've been watching more TV than normal lately, and I hear this on every medication commercial too.
Are some people so dense that they need to be told this?

I like the voice at the end of the medical commercials that tell you to consult your doctor before trying (insert drug name here) because side effects include redness, swelling and death.
30 something years ago I worked at an auto parts store, and on the back of the sleeve that fan belts came in were generic instructions on how to replace the belt. Well, step one was "make sure engine is off".......
Well, if you're that stupid.......

You will never be disappointed.
Indeed. And I must have said this to my kids a million times. Thankfully, it appears that they have taken heed.
Kind of like the old SNL commercial for Happy Fun Ball and it's warnings.
Moreover, how would one know unless they've already tried it with a bad result.....? : D
