We're doomed

Maybe Jan could enlighten us on the last one. I didn't realize this was  a problem in Sweden.








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.
(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 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 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 bulldozers.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




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 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: say what?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




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?)

Thanks a bunch for the laughs, your commentary made it ever so much funnier, OMG, I'll never look at Husqvarna the same way again (... and somewhere therein is a joke about Swedish meatballs that's eluding me...)
