Some examples of why the human
race has probably evolved as far as possible.
These are actual instruction labels
on consumer goods:
On Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
(Gee, 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 Swann frozen
dinners:
Serving suggestion:
Defrost.
(But it's 'just' a suggestion!)
On a hotel provided shower cap
in a box:
Fits one head.
(The big one or the
little one?)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed
on bottom of the box)
Do not turn upside down.
(Too late! You
lose!)
On Marks & Spencer
Bread Pudding:
Product will be hot
after heating.
(Are you sure??? Let's experiment.)
On packaging for a Rowenta
iron:
Do not iron clothes
on body.
(But wouldn't that save
more time?)
(Whose body?)
On Boot's Children's
cough medicine:
Do not drive car or
operate machinery.
(We could do a lot to reduce the construction
accidents if we
just kept those 5 year olds off those
fork lifts.)
On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: may cause drowsiness.
(One would hope!)
On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning: keep out of children. or
pets!
(What's for dinner?)
On a string of Chinese-made Christmas
lights:
For indoor or outdoor
use only.
(As opposed to use in
outer space.)
On a Japanese food processor:
Not to be used for the
other use.
(Now I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.
(but no peas?)
On an American Airlines packet
of nuts:
Instructions: open packet,
eat nuts.
(have a lobotomy)
On a Swedish chainsaw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with
your hands or genitals.
(What is this, a home
castration kit?)
On a child's Superman
costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable
you to fly.
(That's right, destroy a universal
childhood belief)
