| | I ran across this on jumbojoke.com and even though it's meant for regular, mundane items, I thought they really should be applied to motorcycles. 
As scientists and concerned citizens, we applaud the recent trend
toward legislation which requires the prominent placing of warnings on
products that present hazards to the general public. Yet we must also
offer the cautionary thought that such warnings, however
well-intentioned, merely scratch the surface of what is really
necessary in this important area. This is especially true in light of
the findings of 20th century physics. We therefore propose that the following list of warnings appears on every product offered for sale in the United States:
- WARNING: This Product Warps Space and Time in Its Vicinity.
- CAUTION: The Mass of This Product Contains the Energy Equivalent of 85 Million Tons of TNT per Net Ounce of Weight.
- HANDLE
WITH EXTREME CARE: This Product Contains Minute Electrically Charged
Particles Moving at Velocities in Excess of Five Hundred Million Miles
Per Hour.
- CONSUMER NOTICE: Because of the Uncertainty Principle, It Is
Impossible for the Consumer to Find Out at the Same Time Both Precisely
Where This Product Is and How Fast It Is Moving. (Note: This one is
optional on the grounds that Heisenberg was never quite sure that his
principle was correct.)
- ADVISORY: There is an Extremely Small but Nonzero Chance That,
Through a Process Know as Tunneling, This Product May Spontaneously
Disappear from Its Present Location and Reappear at Any Random Place in
the Universe, Including Your Neighbor's Domicile. The Manufacturer Will
Not Be Responsible for Damages or Inconvenience That May Result.
- PLEASE NOTE: Some Quantum Physics Theories Suggest That When the
Consumer Is Not Directly Observing This Product, It May Cease to Exist
or Will Exist Only in a Vague and Undetermined State.
- HEALTH WARNING: Care Should Be Taken When Lifting This Product,
Since Its Mass, and Thus Its Weight, Is Dependent on Its Velocity
Relative to the User.
- ATTENTION: Despite Any Other Listing of Product Contents Found
Hereon, the Consumer is Advised That, in Actuality, This Product
Consists Of 99.999999999% Empty Space.
