  1. This is hilarious. I love it. I used to be an advertising copywriter. One of the disclaimers I remember was, “no ups, no extras.” Can remember exactly what it meant.
    And how about, “No reasonable offer will be refused.”

  2. See store for details.
    Please hold while I transfer your call.
    Insert card and remove quickly.
    Record your message after the tone.
    Contents may have shifted during flight.
    Apply brake to shift.
    Line starts here.
    Cut along dotted line.

  3. “Do not taunt happy fun ball.” — must be from somewhere on the Pacific Rim. My favorite is the disclaimer on the silica gel packet found in new shoes that says “Do not eat.” Your web site provides endless entertainment and edification! –Nancy
