DO NOT apply butter or grease

Today at lunch I sat next to this emergency grab bag of what to and what not to do in case of emergency. Sadly, the above caption was included on what not to do if you find yourself with burn wounds on your skin. Who really needs this tidbit of information? Clearly, it's not just two random products that they've listed. It doesn't tell me to not apply chocolate chip cookies or blueberry pancakes to my 2nd degree burns. Because, obviously, no one would think that was a good idea. We then arrive at the truth that a fair amount of people would believe that applying grease or butter to their boiling skin is standard operating procedure. People need to be instructed against this. Survival of the Fittest has failed.

Not that I see too many burn victims, but if I do see one I hope this sign isn't around and they apply either grease or butter. Hilarity would ensue. Without question. For hours.
