Default Funny Owners Manual Quotes

1962 Safety Rules from Honda

Taken from a 1962 Honda Motor Cycle Owner's Manual.
Translated by Honda for the American Motorcycle Rider

1. At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly.
Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

2. When a passenger of the foot, hooves in sight, tootel the horn

trumpet melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage,

tootel him with vigor and express by word of mouth, warning Hi, Hi.

3. Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take
fright as you pass him. Do not explode the exhaust box at him.

Go soothingly by.

4. Give big space to the festive dog that makes sport
in roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with wheel spokes.

5. Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the
skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around
the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.

They don't make owners manuals like these nowadays..

Commodores owner manual - Warranty section - for car made September 2010

Section 2.10 - As this car is effectively 4 years old, your three year warranty is not valid.

Owners manual that came with a cheap $2 keyboard had the best one liners.

Said things like: "Keyboard is dirt resistant.. do not use in the sandstorm"
