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