My all time favorite is the one that came attatched to a superman cape on a halloween costume: WARNING- This item will not enable user to fly.
Second favorite came on a blow dryer/curling iron set I bought: Do not use while sleeping or bathing.    ummmm.......DUH

Great. A "one-size-fits-all" liability disclaimer.

Alls they really needed to say was "If you stupid enuf to stick a  fork in this toaster while it is plugged in, then you are in idiot, and the species is better off if you aren't around to reproduce."
