My favorite was one spouted by a then-famous comedian...
"Warning on the box for Preperation H...Not to be taked orally."

And although this doesn't quite fit this thread, I also get a kick out of these new medications that have the side-effect disclaimers that list symptoms that are worse that the original illness.

...May cause dizziness, drymouth and anal leakage.

How about the ones that say "may cause death"? That's a pretty somber warning.
