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.
(Damn, 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?)
![[Image: Bathroom_Stuff_Poodle_bathes_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Bathro/Bathroom_Stuff_Poodle_bathes_prv.gif)
On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(And that would be how???....)
![[Image: Desserts_Apple_pie_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Desser/Desserts_Apple_pie_prv.gif)
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!)
![[Image: Hot___Beverages_Hot_java_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Hot___/Hot___Beverages_Hot_java_prv.gif)
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?)
![[Image: Heavy_Machinery_Buldozer_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Heavy_/Heavy_Machinery_Buldozer_prv.gif)
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.)
![[Image: 070103people_sleep_pot_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/070103/070103people_sleep_pot_prv.gif)
On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(And...I'm taking this because???....)
![[Image: Winter_holidays_lights_2_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Winter/Winter_holidays_lights_2_prv.gif)
On most brands of Christmas lights -- < /FONT>"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(As opposed to...what?)
![[Image: Bathroom_Stuff_Bathing_in_tub_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Bathro/Bathroom_Stuff_Bathing_in_tub_prv.gif)
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.)
![[Image: Salted_Snacks_Popcorn_cernel_2_prv.gif]](http://skins.hotbar.com/skins/mailskins/img/Salted/Salted_Snacks_Popcorn_cernel_2_prv.gif)
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 Superm an 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?)
