do not remove under penalty of law

A common phrase that is written in those little labels/tags that you find in your mattress or pillows (mostly on matresses) that you have the urge to take it off but you may think you're going to pay a huge fee or, perhaps, going to jail. As if there was a hidden super-mega-ant-bacteria size of a camera inside that tag to watch it. Some say "except by consumer" others not. But you'll remove it anyway. Besides... what's the worst thing could happen, hm?

Person 1: I just took off this tag. It says: "do not remove under penalty of law". So cool huh?
Person 2: OMG! You're going to jail!
Person 1: Nah. I'll just put it on my mom's desk.

Death Penalty

Using my likeness to fuck women who thing you are me is rape. The contract explicitly states that that isn't allowed and is punishable by death. Anyone who benefits from the contract cannot, then, violate the contract and escape the punishment commensurate with the crime.

Hym "Death penalty sounds about right for a serial rapist using my likeness to get women he couldn't otherwise get."
