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. ( 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 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?)
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
(..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
