AND...
In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed
because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on
consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (darn, and
that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase
necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and
that would be how???....)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn
upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after
heating." (...and you thought????...)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate
machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce
the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those
5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm
taking this because???....)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use
only." (as opposed to...what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other
use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a
news flash!)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open
packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On
a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you
to fly."
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your
hands or genitals."
(...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread
the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to
(maybe even a chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need
to smile every once in a while.
