Ad libs

 I'll need a friend from the legal community to chime in on this, but I wonder why certain prescription commercials end with this curt admonition:

"If you're allergic to BlahBlahBlah, don't take BlahBlahBlah.

Now well, I mean, you're telling me, if I'm allergic to something, I should avoid it? Thank you that salubrious advice! My life will be much happier, and surely a lot longer, if I avoid things that might kill or sicken me.

And then there's the ones that say if you have a parasitic illness, be sure to tell your doctor! You betcha I will, as soon as I let the guy at the produce stand down the street and the woman in the gas booth at the supermarket parking lot know about it. They have both asked me to let them know if I have something fouling my blood.

And why do people think I want to buy insurance from a gecko?
