Instructions

  • On a Sear’s hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
    (Dang, 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???….)

    (But, it’s "just" a suggestion!)

    (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?)

    (Step 3: maybe, uh…fly Delta?)

    (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?)
