I live down south. About the only warning we heed is a cry "hey y'all, watch this"

There used to be a guy who made peppermint liquid soap, that had more bizarre allusions to the UN, world peace, etc. Can't remember if it's Dr. Bronner's or not, but if you ever need something to read for about 5 minutes while you're stuck on the loo...;)
the instructions went on for nearly the entire surface of the bottle...;0
