EVER WONDER

"Psychic Wins Lottery"?

have to click on "Start"?

flavor, and dishwashing liquid made
with real lemons?

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

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 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 & SpencerBreadPudding:
"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?)

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 a chuckle)...in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.

Damn you mean I can't string 'em up on myself?

Funny post!

Thanks windfall!! I'm wiping the tears from my eyes still!

Not all handicaps keep one from skating (heart problems come to mind).

I wish! My bank has security doors, and my keys set them off every stinkin' time!

I buy hot dogs in packages of eight . . .

Probably because your hair isn't trying to defend itself.

As a doctor friend of mine put it last week, "May I never think I am done 'practicing' and have learned everything there is to know about medicine!"

You need to buy better lemon juice!

There's a reason he's not investing his own money . . .

Wishful thinking?

Too heavy -- the plane would never get off the ground.

Raw wool, with the lanolin still in it, repels water. Sheep have built in slickers!

Actually, since peanuts are NOT true nuts -- and some people are allergic to peanuts but not tree nuts, while others are allergic to tree nuts but not peanuts -- this is a legitimate warning.

This one always make me laugh because I'd do this and for what seems to me to be a perfectly logical reason. In fact, I cheered when, in Stargate SG1, Carter did something similar and, off the looks from her male colleagues, declared with a shrug, 'I like the taste better'. Yes! <G> Exactly. 'Real' coke/pepsi is just way too sweet for my tastebuds these days.

Thank you Lab! That was Lighthearted and awesome!

TEEEEEJ

LOL!

My favorite is this one:



Note:

I don't know about Latin, but in Greek it is. The word poli in Greek means city, and that's where the word 'politics' come from. But the same sound, poli, spelt another way (double l, different letter for the sound 'i') does mean 'many'.

AnnaBtG. (who never misses a chance to advertise the Greek language)

That's a good one...I'll have to remember that!
