In Honour of Stupid People . . .

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


==========================


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

===========================




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


=======================



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



==============================



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 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?)


===========================


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I had a mate who got his flatmate to iron his suit jacket as he wore it as they didn't have an ironing board. Yes, it was hot. :smt005
