At work, we aren't allowed (by the fire department) to tack things up on more than twenty percent of the wall unless they are known to be fire resistant in the State of California, and are labelled as such. But, of course, we don't live in the State of California, so I object. Things catch fire all the time in California- I know! I used to live there! There are brush fires, bush fires, grass fires, hair fires, forest fires, you name it! Wisconsin? Not so much.
Of course, whenever you buy something and it says, "Not for Sale in the State of California," or better yet, "This item has been proven to cause cancer in the State of California," the logical thing to say, and the thing we always do say is,
"Well, it's a darn good thing that I don't live in the State of California anymore, now, isn't it?"
Dodged that bullet.
I always say "Good thing we're not in California!" when ever I read that warning label. Especially the one about cancer. Forget the earthquakes and financial situation, people get cancer from buying electronics!
ReplyDeleteI had a giggle at Lowes today. I bought some pinion wood that, you guessed it, is known to cause cancer in the state of California. I'll take my chances, mosquito-born illness is a much larger threat here.
