[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]
