In Honor of Stupid People

I received this through an e-mail today. I changed some of the comments to something more like what I would think. Even if all of these aren’t true, they are still funny. 🙂 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 hair dryer – Do not use while sleeping.  
(\*\*\*\*, 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 turnupside down.”  
(That information could have been helpful BEFORE)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding – “Product will be hot after heating.”  
(What is the definition of heat again?)

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…”  
(Why am I taking this?)

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: 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 chain saw – “Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.”  
(Oh my God…was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
