Here you go Alty...

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. (darn, 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?. )

Oh, and Alty... exciting plans?? exciting plans?. uhhhmmmm... decribe this event? I can't remember what that means?. LOL

LOLOL!! (one more from my list above:)

I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

That's great, LOVE IT, made me laugh so hard I actually had coffee coming out of my nose. Okay, now I have to clean my keyboard and monitor, but it was so worth it. :)

Thanks HC. :)

HistorianChick · Apr 25, 2008, 11:20 AM

starbuck8 · Apr 25, 2008, 11:20 AM

Chicky... my hair dryer warns me not to use it in the shower too! Well c'mon... why not wash and dry at the same time?

Alty · Apr 25, 2008, 11:21 AM

Starby, you could come here this weekend and help me clean. How about it, is that a good offer or what. I'll buy beer! :)

starbuck8 · Apr 25, 2008, 11:25 AM

Beer?? Will drive for beer! Hehe. Well if we weren't getting a mixture of snow AGAIN, and freezing rain... that would be cool. However, I don't clean on wkds... sorry! LOL

HistorianChick · Apr 25, 2008, 11:26 AM

HistorianChick · Apr 25, 2008, 11:42 AM

Road trip/Camping trip... yeah... I could get into that. :)

Lol... nope, no idea.

Alty · Apr 25, 2008, 11:45 AM

I'd love to, even if it rains, it's better than snow. Yucky snow.

I've got to run for a bit all, my lasik appointment is at 4:30pm I've still got to shower, and get all dolled up. Hopefully they can do something about this pain in my eye. Arrrr! Rah!

I'll be back later. If I miss you HC, have a wonderful weekend, may it be warm and sunny. Don't forget the coffee!

Bye for now all.
