The Risks of Posterior Keming

André G. Isaak

Today I was reading the label on a pair of hand-warmers, which included the phrase: "Warning: Improper use may cause bums". This struck me as a rather odd side effect for anything to have. Even more odd was the fact that the kerning in 'warning' (if any) seemed perfectly normal.

Just thought I'd share.

Oh man, I swore it said "Posterior Kerning" until I got into this thread and saw the headline in FF Masala. How ironic. Awesome illusion of assumption.
