Funny, I feel okay...

Seen a while back in a shopping mall, where a booth was selling automatic massages in special massage chairs: a sign next to where one paid to sign up for massage time.

Warning

  • You are receiving medical treatments or are feeling ill.
  • Your body shows any acute symptoms.
  • You have malignant tumor.
  • You have heart disease.
  • You are Pregnant or having a menstrual period.
  • Your doctor has ordered you to rest.
  • You have a back disorder resulting from an accident or disease.
  • You have osteoporosis.
  • You desire to use the massage chair for the treatment of an injury. [Ah, so the sign is psychic, too.]
  • You have a high fever.
  • You have sensory disorders. [That one, at least, is correct.]
  • You have a medical electrical device (e.g. pacemaker).
  • You have severe interruption in the circulation of the legs
  • You are a diabetic.

I had no idea I was such a sick puppy. And here I am casually looking at massage chairs instead of getting the hell to my doctor to treat my heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, poor circulation, fever, and all the other symptoms I didn't even know I had (including my pregnancy, which really upset me, since Denise and I have always been so careful about taking precautions). The sign wasn't finished with me yet, though.

  • The chair will be hold up to 220 LB for your weight. [I don't even know where to start with that one.]
  • Please do not use the chair under 18 years old. [Well, OK, I'll go use the rocking chair over there, then.]

Richard Lederer would have a field day with this one...
