[font=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]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.
(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.”
(…ya think???..)
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 God…was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)[/font]
