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.

(######, 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 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: 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"

(Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
