Many, if not most, of instruction manuals start with "do not expose to moisture/water" or some variation of thereof. Not that it should be mentioned, but apparently.......well, apparently not everyone reads instructions most have learned early in life. First grade of elementary school early.

Bob cut his first grade elementary school classes and did not read the warning on page 3 of Phase Linear amplifier instruction manual.
