emergency signs

This is some funny shit. A thread on the Internet Infidels discussion forum referenced a government site which was giving advice about what to do in differing emergency situations, often using illustration. These illustrations gave rise to the thread, which consists entirely of people taking the piss out of the illustrations via a kind of caption contest, and some of them are absolutely hilarious. Here's a couple of examples:

warning sign 1 If you are sprayed with an unknown substance, stand around and think about it for a while instead of seeking medical assistance.

warning sign 2 On second thought, casually stroll away and go grab a pint of beer at the local pub.

Update April 2007 - although the thread and captions are still there, unfortunately the images are not - presumably the government has since taken the site down where the images were being hotlinked from.
