I'm a *terrible* person

[kengr]

You've no doubt seen the various graphics/signs that have a warning symbol and the text "Do not look into laser with remaining eye!"

Well, I had a thought. And I'm just evil enough to do it.

Print one out, and add another copy of the warning to the bottom of the sign... in Braille.

Dooo iiit!!

*falls over laughing*

Well, it's better than the evil bit I saw in pic online once. A Franklin stove with "CAUTION: HOT SURFACE" on the top in Braille.

Oh, that is evil in the extreme! Jeez Louise... I didn't know whether to laugh or wince here, so I did both. Gah!

*gigglefits* This Braille reader approves!

[kengr]

Yeah, can't get away with things like cards that say "you have just been poisoned".

Though Lin was talking about wanting a T-shirt with Braille on it saying something along the lines of "If you can read this, you better be a *really* good friend"

And I seem to recall seeing an ad for panties with something naughty on them in Braille.

Also, check out my reply to silicon Shaman above.

As a demisensual, I would absolutely wear that shirt. Not so much the underwear, though--eeks!

I saw your reply above, and winced! Also snickered, but yikes!

The best use of that I've seen was in the "The Girl Who Was Death" episode of _The Prisoner_.

Patrick McGoohan's character received a mysterious message to go to a specific bar and order a specific drink. He did so, and as he drained the opaque liquid another message appeared word-by-word on the inside of the bottom:

YOU

HAVE

JUST

BEEN

POISONED

I have a bunch of clear stickers (with reversed type) that say that. You stick them on the bottom of clear bottomed tankards. <eg>
