90% Unchecked
FOUND by kt in West Palm Beach, Florida
I forget where I found this sticker, but I doubt it was on what it was supposed to be on. I just can't imagine who thinks 10% is good enough, or why anyone would want to bother to tell you about their substandard checking skills.

Half the quality at more than twice the price! So bring your wife down and we'll dicker over the price!

What a coincidence. I was just studying my family tree and I am also 10% Czech.

The other 90% has polka dots.

Or maybe stripes.

The high waisted, red leather disco pants I got from American Apparel had the same sticker.

If the blue and white striped Appalling girl has 90% of her legs covered leaving the other 10% for me to check out. How much longing will I see in her eyes for me as she gazes back over her shoulder? I hate math problems.

Librarian, your post made me laugh.

I think the sticker is odd and I have no clever comment to make on it.

Mom Interrupted in the Quality Control Department. Controlling quality.
I think Feeling in coherent is onto something.

These stickers are supposed to read "This Item Was 100% Checked". But someone forgot to check the stickers- so the error went... unchecked.

Perhaps the sticker checker was Czech? And he was on vacation. So the stickers went un-Czech'd.

Now Quality Control's reputation is wrecked. What a pain in the neck.

Could be a self-referential sticker. Maybe it means that the sticker ITSELF was only 10% checked.

Just when I thought 5% was good enough, someone had to go and up the ante. Please learn to know when to say when.

Even if the thing was 100% checked, so what? Anyone can check. What I want to know is what you're going to do about it if you find something wrong whilst checking.
