In Honor of Stupid People . . . .
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.
(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???....)
------------------------------------------------
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 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 bulldozers.)
------------------------------------------------
On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(... 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: say what?)
------------------------------------------------
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?)
