BillyVance 35 #1 April 14, 2005 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?) (Don't throw them at the 1)other passengers; 2)stewards; or 3) pilot) 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?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even chuckle)... ****Blessed are the cracked: For it is they who let in the light*****"Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
champu 1 #2 April 14, 2005 I bought a new desk lamp yesterday and it had seven warning labels on it. After I got all that amateur nonsense removed, I was sure to set the lamp on an uneven service, outside, near an open basin of water, leaving the bulb that was of too high a wattage on for more than 8 hours at once. And when I was done, I grabbed the extension cord that was longer than necessary by the middle of the cord and pulled on it to remove it from the outlet.

karenmeal 0 #3 April 14, 2005 I was saw a bike horn for kids that had a warning label that said: Caution! May attract Canadian Geese! I thought that was pretty funny.. imagine the poor kid who necessitated the warning label!

GTAVercetti 0 #5 April 14, 2005 I like what comedian Brian Regan has to say about pop-tarts directions (package says microwave on high for THREE seconds): "Microwave PopTarts? How long does it take to toast a pop tart . . .a minute and a half if you want it dark? Listen if you need to zap fry you pop tarts before you head out the door, you might want to loosen up your schedule"Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
