Not long ago I bought a new stepladder manufactured in

States. It is full of stuck on labels warning people about dangers of
misusing the product. For a few of us it would seem sensible not to
attempt to change the blade on a table saw while the motor is running,
but there are people who would win handsomely in court because the
manufacturer had failed to post a label warning them of an obvious
danger. One can never underestimate the power of unfathomable stupidity.
Totally off-topic, but I notice that many of those squeezable mops
have a huge sign saying WARNING: WET MOP BEFORE WRINGING OUT.
I don't understand:
a) how it's possible to wring out a dry mop
b) why you would want to wring out a dry mop
c) what harm could result.
But obviously it's important for some reason.
