Well.. if you think that’s absurd, some years ago I worked for a company where someone claimed a WHS injury regarding an infected finger via cut allegedly received from toilet paper. The insurer demanded to know what the company was doing to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

The result was notices plastered on all toilet doors advising the correct use of toilet paper, complete with graphics - I kid you not.

Nanny-state lawyering gone mad.

That's just there so the dog doesn't drink in the toilets. Nobody ever uses that contraption of evil. That's where they send the naughty kids to wash their feet if they don't behave.

Ooh now that is risky. All that pressurised water in untrained hands. Why, someone could wind up deaf -- if they confuse ear holes and the other kind.

If you peel back the layers to this thread you'll find that there's more to it.

Mirko is just jealous because in NZ, hangis outside Bunnings were banned 20 years ago because of the risk of roasting humans.

I couldn't believe the hooha that the news media were trying to cause with this story.

And very interesting to see it even got picked up in IIS. Finger on the pulse!
