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 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 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 Sunsbury'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.' (...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
