Charlie Wrangler Must Obey Natural Laws

In skimming over the Jeep Owners Manual, I found many WARNING! boxes with bold text placed all over the place.  Most are highly ‘tarded, as is the manual in general, but my favorite so far is a three-peat, the WARNING! box for the ABS (anti-lock brake system), BAS (brake assist system), and the ESP (electronic stability control program) all have the same opening line, which I find priceless: 

WARNING!

The _ _ _ system cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle.

 Outstanding!

  

Good to know.

I was looking for a Bugs Bunny clip where he says he doesn’t have to obey the law of gravity because he never studied law. I got distracted and found this instead. Make sure you watch it before your next excursion.

Thanks Skinny, I’ve seen those Eureka cartoons somewhere before, it’s cool that they’re on youtube. The animation looks like the Fractured Fairy Tales.

Geoff,
I stole found the photo here:

“This photo was taken in 1941 at New River, North Carolina during testing of the Bantam BRC-40 jeep, the forerunner of the Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps that became the World War II standard. This photo of the Bantam has all four wheels off the ground (six if you count the towed 37mm Antitank gun), the inspiration for the “Flying Jeep” poster and similar depictions.”
