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" as uggestion).
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 thosef orklifts.)
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 opposedt o...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?)
