I don't think the Great Gyam ever made a caravan to Namibia. I first saw this on an astronomy website -- believe it is a really primitive road to an observatory:

Here's my favorite, from the shaft of the WeedEater. I scanned the one out of the manual to be more readable. Check out the dog getting the rock bounced off his noggin!

As 2AIR posted previously, this sticker it is one of my two favorite warnings. It was the only sticker in all of the many many warning stickers in and on the AS that I could not remove by peeling or using mild detergent, and had to have the the factory tech remove for me since the sticker told me not to use what he did, lol. The other was on the water inlet. I can't remember what it said...anyone?...I think it warned of injury or death, or was it dismemberment?

I remember seeing one that said the fresh water connection was not for effluent.
"Hi, honey, how about an ice-cold glass of effluent? Right out of the tap!"

I've seen the "cousin" to that one Airhog, but it will get me a long time in the corner by the Mods if I reprint it here. Has to do with "50% this and 50% that, don't push yer luck."

Airstream Labels

Being a manufacturer of custom pressure sensative labels we encourge everyone to place a label on everthing. Funny thing is that I have many, many times offered Airstream Inc. the opportunity for us to make their labels. I have told them over and over again that I would be able to supply them for much less than they are currently paying and they don't seem too interested. Heck, being an Airstream nut you can only imagine the deal they could get!

I don't have a pic of the big NO SMOKING sign on our propane filling station, but I would like to have a pic of the person who went up there and shoved a cigarettee through the louvers at the top. Duh.

I like the one at Glaser Gas here in the Springs.

No kidding, this really happened.

I stopped to fill up the truck one night at the local gas station. I get out of the truck and the guy next to me is filling the tank on one of those gigantic 4x4's that's jacked up to the base of the cloud cover--smoking a cigarette. I just got back in the truck and drove away, expecting to see a small mushroom cloud in the rear view.

When I was in basic training, one of the tasks they taught you is how to arm and fire a claymore mine. It is the curve hunk of plastic that would blow up and out. On the front of that it said" this side toward enemy"

I always thought that was kind of weird.
