In case you needed further proof that the human raceis doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

1. On Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping".
[Gee, that's the only time I have to work on myhair]

2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be winner! Nopurchase necessary. Details inside".
[Evidently, the shoplifter special]

3. On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use likeregular soap."
[And that would be how...?]

4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Servingsuggestions: Defrost."
[But it's *just* a suggestion]

5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom ofbox): "Do not turn upside down".
[Oops, too late, you lose!! ]

6. On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product willbe hot after heating.
[As sure as night follows the day . . . . .]

7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not ironclothes on body".
[But wouldn't this save even more time?]

8. On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine: "Do notdrive a car or operate machinery after taking thismedication".
[We could do a lot to reduce the rate ofconstruction accidents if we could just get those5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.]

9. On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May causedrowsiness".
[One would hope]

10. On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indooror outdoor use only".
[As opposed to what?]

11. On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be usedfor the other use".
[I gotta admit, I'm curious].

12. On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: Containsnuts".
[NEWS FLASH]

13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:"Instructions: open packet,eat nuts."
[Step 3: Fly Delta]

[I don't blame the company. I do blame parents forthis one!]


15. On a Swedish chain saw: " Do not attempt to stopchain with your hands or genitals".
Was there a chance of this happeningsomewhere?.....Good grief!]

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turnto spread the stupidity and send this to someone youwant to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...inother words, send it to everyone. We ALL NEED ASMILE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE America......
