Need a Laugh Listing
Product Warnings 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.

(And 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 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 Sainsbury'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."

(Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.
