fire!

You can't see it clearly in the photo, but the riveted metal label below in raised black letters exclaims:

Keep nozzle clear of obstructions and small animals. Do not remove pull ring with teeth. Contains Cool Whip© and milk under extreme pressure. Contents of vessel not edible. Do not use as dessert topping. Skin contact may cause irritation or weight gain. Do not inhale. Contents smell like a long car trip with the windows shut. Never yell fire! in a crowded theater unless the movie sucks. Refrain from letting neighbor borrow unit. Remember what happened when you loaned them your lawnmower? Empty gas tank. Righto. Never cared for your neighbor and can't understand why you don't move. They're loud and did you know they go through your mail?

You're pretty close, Phil, but you forgot "protect from frost". Thanks for the giggles!

Nice lot of advice and well worth adhering to. I promise to never loan my fire extinguisher to my neighbors....or use it for a dessert topping.

I have a passion for weird warning labels - you've written a winner here - it could be decal'd onto many items! :)
