This was sent to me by one of our Adland friends 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?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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***** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Linda, That was good for a decent laugh. Thanks for sharing, Louis http://www12dailypro.com/?ref=129230 http://www.yorgoo.com/cgi-bin/ref.cgi/1850/

Very interesting. Someone had to try it first in order to have the warning listed on the package.

HI Linda, Hummmmm...let's see! What am I am suppose to be doing here? Duh? Are people that dumb or what? Marilyn

HI Linda I had a good laugh with this one. However, it has also alerted me to the fact that I should be reading more labels. It seems like a good way to brighten up our days. Have a great, blessed and successful day Warm Wishes Pam
