Human Stupidity
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 bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside. (The shoplifter special!)
On some Swansonn frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But
it's *just* a suggestion!)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert:(printed on bottom of the box) Do not
turn upside down. (Too late! You lose!)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (But
wouldn't that save more time?)
On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate
machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction
accidents if we could 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. (Really???)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet,
eat nuts. (I'm glad they cleared that up...)
On a childs superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not
enable you to fly. (That's right, destroy a universal childhood
fantasy!)
In a Laundromat : Automatic washing machines. Please remove all
your clothes when the light goes out.
In an office: Would the person who took the step ladder yesterday
please bring it back or further steps will be taken.
On a Church Door : This is the gate of Heaven. Enter ye all by
this door. (This door is kept locked because of the draft. Please
use side entrance.)
Quicksand Warning : Quicksand. Any person passing this point will
be drowned. By order of the District Council.
Seen during a Conference: For anyone who has children and doesn't
know it, there is a day care on the first floor.
Notice in a Field: The farmer allows walkers to cross the field
for free, but the bull charges.
On a Repair Shop Door : We can repair anything (Please knock hard
on the door - the bell doesn't work)
