There is No Hope for This Generation
« on: January 25, 2011, 01:18:54 am »

In Honour 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 Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

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 an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: say 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 most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to what?)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(..I'm taking this because???....)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me time?)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's just a suggestion.)

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be???....)

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

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 Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

Perhaps if we removed some of these warnings we could get rid of some of the idiots and improve the gene pool.
- wife unpacked new iron recently to see warning " may be hot after use".  The mind boggles

I once saw, on the bottom of a cardboard milk carton......................." open other end."   {:-{   %% %% %%

Tesco's Milk did have a warning saying contains milk, although I think it may have been removed now.
as for peanuts even though they are named a nut they are in fact a legume, a member of the bean family, so maybe the warning should say warning this product contains bean  :-)
