I'm not sure how long this has been the case, but when I did my exams at the end of high school, the back of the cover page of the exam booklet always said "This is a blank page." We were explicitly told by our teachers not to write "not anymore" or "no it's not" on that page, as the assessor's had seen it so many times that we might put them in a bad mood. I'm not sure how much of an effect this warning had on us. Probably not much.
Anyone else have anything similar worth sharing?

I've seen ones that read, "This page intentionally left blank". [shrug]

I was once involved in putting together a book of recipes garnered from the people who worked at my company. My task was to organize the pages so that everything could be printed out on 8-1/2X11 paper 1 with two pages per side and everything would come out right when we piled up the printed sheets and bound them into a whole. Somehow my powers of conceptual detection failed me and we ended up with no page numbers 11-48. At that point in the book we inserted the text: Pages 11 through 48 intentionally omitted 1. Slightly shorter and slightly wider than A4 paper

Darned right! Another food thread?! [mock warning glare e]
Edit: actually, I just finished dinner, having made a new recipe: mango chicken jicama lime mint oil sriracha mixture on lettuce wraps. It was quite good.
