    Warning: People are as dumb as you think By Sonny Garrett, baxterbulletin
    As I read through them and wondered why people needed to be told these things, I remembered the words of Jeff Foxworthy who, in one of his comedy routines, said we have these warnings because at some point someone tried to do these things.

    * A warning on an electric router made for carpenters: 'This product not intended for use as a dental drill.'
    * A warning label found on a baby stroller cautions the user to 'Remove child before folding'
    * A sticker on a 13-inch wheel on a wheelbarrow warns: 'Not intended for highway use' "
