Technical manuals from the 60s and 70s sometimes had eye-catching CAUTION boxes surrounded by wavy or curly lines.



CAUTIONCAUTION



My best attempt at re-creating this is not ideal as I can't get the snake to line up on all corners:



begintikzpicture
draw[very thick,decorate,
decoration=snake,segment length=9.5pt]
(0,0) rectangle (140pt,40pt)
node[pos=0.5] textbfCAUTION;
endtikzpicture


CAUTION bad



I would also be willing to use any other package which can produce fancy boxes with borders.
