Shockingly hilarious film that tells of warning signs you've probably never heard of, and I am wondering if people heard of them back in the 50's, which I do believe this film is set. All 6 of these have different episodes, and all of them are quite funny, Especially 'The Price Of Progress' and 'The Law Of Averages' where both adults take their agressions out on the young folk. But the killer one is 'When Your Number's Up, it's up', like who actually thinks like that? A MUST SEE on this site!

A wall switch by the sink to turn a radio on that sits on the kitchen table?? WTF? Can you spell "farfetched?" And yes, safety IS for sissies. Always has been. The millennial "boyettes" will eat up this film. Thank you Emerson Film Corporation.

Some of these are presented in this film, with assurances that it is our faulty belief in fate, and not fate itself, that ultimately results in our demise. In this, the NSC is not attempting, as one might expect, to replace the superstitious beliefs of the populace with some kind of Enlightenment rationality, but actually…
