Don’t worry, somebody will get burned and sue, claiming that the warning is inadequate since it is snarky.
This raises the question of whether a court can dismiss a suit on summary judgment on grounds of plaintiff’s lack of a sense of humor.
I keep expecting to walk into a gun store, examine a gun, and see “Do Not Stand Here,” engraved in a little ring around the muzzle.
Oh, someone’s gonna sue:
“Your honor, my client took the joking tone of the warning to mean the whole thing was a joke. Then he chugged the entire cup of coffee in one shot, and severely burned his throat. He’ll never be the same again – he’s not able to work, he’s in constant pain, and his wife is joining the suit over her loss of consortium.”
