Save these instructions!! I'm getting them tattoed on my ass!

The truly funny thing is, it's hard to tell the bogus warnings from the real ones.

Is it safe to taunt the phone when it is still in the original packaging?
 
I'd get them on my ass, which is probably big enough to hold all of them, but as we know I'm some sort of wussy.
 
Pointless Shit has got to be a regular feature!
