A Food Scare?

[Aperitif]

A doctor was addressing a large audience in Oxford...
"The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High transfat diets can be disastrous and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and most of us have, or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 70-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

Awwww..... I've heard that one so many times!

One can have a lot of fun with scientific blurb. Wasn't there the one about the farmer, fed up with trespassers, who put up a notice "Beware: Taraxacum officinale present in this field"?

"Beware: Taraxacum officinale present in this field"?

I had to Google that

I've attended model railway exhibitions where some of the exhibitors had warning signs:

'Beware 12,000 milliVolts. Touch at your own risk.'
