Labels
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?)
