In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (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???....) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 bulldozers.) ___
On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (...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.)
"Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash) _____
On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
Step 3: say what?) _____
On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.) ____
On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my gosh..was there a lot of this happening some where?) _____
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 chuckle)...
