I thought these were quite humorous....!!??

In case you need 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 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?)

I used to go to sleep with a hair dryer on my head! One of those plastic hose/bonnet deals. I'd set the heater/blower unit on a stool next to the bed. It was NO DOUBT a dangerous thing to do. Boy, I do NOT miss brush rollers and bonnet hair dryers! ;-)

Hilarious, Marcia, especially the Nytol Sleep Aid warning.

Do we need these silly warnings? Most of us don't, but everytime I see grown men running with the bulls in Pomplano (sp?), I have to wonder . . .

Joy...when I was in high school, I used to set my hair on those big rollers. You know the ones as big around as soda cans??!! Talk about a miserable night of sleeping! Sheesh...didn't we females put ourselves through torture! And for what?? I still have those rollers though....waaaay in the back of my wardrobe!

Hey, I'm still trying to figure out the warning that I read on my girlfriends curling iron box last week - "For external use only, may cause internal injury". :>O I don't even want to think how this came about.

Oh Jay, and some people complain about hot coffee?

Marcia, and we should be amazed at those because....? Don't they put stickers on meat now, telling you to cook before eating? Then my wife came home with a jerky maker, that she picked up at a garage sale, that makes jerky out of hamburger meat! I'm probably not going to eat any of that jerky.

Wildman, (not surprised)
