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. (Damn, 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 Sainsbury'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?)
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 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 chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile
every once in a while.
