The Pleasure Principal
So there I was a few days ago drinking a cup of free coffee at some event. I happened to notice that on the small paper cup that I sipped this mediocre beverage was the warning " Caution: Contents may be Hot and Delicious." This struck me as odd and very presumptuous on their part. Let's break this down:

1. Caution: Contents may be Hot. This part I'll give them. I this age of nuisance law suits they're just covering their butts. The contents MAY be hot, they might be luke warm but hey, who knows. If they're hot, don't do something stupid like playing quarters with the contents and scald the crap out of your esophagus. If you do, don't blame us, your an idiot and we warned you. Fair enough.

2. Caution: Contents may be delicious. Now what exactly are they trying to protect me from here? Are they worried that I may swoon in ecstasy and lose consciousness, only to wake up and find myself naked and wrapped in cellophane? Or perhaps they're afraid that this wonderful tasty beverage my cause me to sport wood in public, causing me great ridicule as passers by laugh and point at my trousers now become a circus tent?

Personally I think that theses guys are ego maniacs for thinking that they actually have to warn me of possible impending pleasure; the coffee really wan't all that good. It could just as easily say "Caution: Contents may be Hot and Taste like Dead Ass." But hey, that's just me.
