In Honour of Stupid People

I got this in an e-mail, i guess it’s doing the rounds.  

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 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?) 

 ***Blessed are the cracked: for it is they who let in the light*****
