[RC] Issuing and Heeding warnings (was: Biting horse) - sherman
For those
who believe the warning was enough I ask again…
Would
that simple warning be acceptable if the
horse in question is a stallion?
Why or why not?

One of my favorite
Ron White acts goes into what is it about NO you don't understand. Is it the
"N" or the "O." "My" -
that word has a pretty obvious meaning. "Horse" also doesn't rise
to the level of multiple ambiguities. Mr. Webster is pretty clear with the
word bite: verb "To cut, grip or tear with the teeth", :to pierce the skin
with the teeth, fangs or mouthparts."
"My
horse bites" is very explicit. At some point it is the responsibility of
the person warned to have a basic understanding of the English language and
heed the warning that seems is very obvious in the statement "my horse
bites."
IMO the
warning was sufficient - it was succinct, it was to the point and there was
not ambiguity - the horse bites. Enough said.
