fro moutlet. That has to be one of those French terms that I forgot to learn. Isn't it incredible the lengths manufacturers must go to in order to protect themselves liabilitywise?

I was going to correct the typo, but you've commented, it stays!
I'm thinking of maybe adding a Pointless Shit Monday. Hopefully I'd be able to find enough pointless shit in my everyday life.

We had a discussion last summer about the ridiculous number of warning labels on a stepladder. We'd prefer not to be responsible for your stupidity but there are blood-sucking lawyers lurking everywhere!
fro moutlet refers to the French custom as to whether you'd like cheese with your entree outdoors.
And finally, I'd like to further explore the possibilities of rule #13...

I had to run a program on ladder safety last weekend. It was quite informative and I learned everything I'll ever need to know about using a ladder in a safe manner, paticularly the 1:4 ratio of distance from object being scaled to height scaling.
The next day we had a WWE event. One of the matches involved climbing step-ladders to take a briefcase full of cash off of a rope.
Guys were jumping from ladder to lader, climbing above the top wrong, tipping the ladder to get better access to the money. Frankly, everything I learned the previous day was completely disregarded by the wrestlers.
They broke all of the rules and one guy walked away with a briefcase full of cash.
Lesson learned: Never Follow the Rules.
Once again, professional wrestling has shown me the proper path.
