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. ( 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??...)

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 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?)

Good afternoon all...finally got here...spent the whole day so far, grocery shopping, and out paying bills...then come home, and cook and get BigDom ready for his day at he post office....

He told me last night the cops came and took one of his fellow employees out in handcuffs...word is, he got caught taking something out of the mail, that did not belong to him....hes screwed....and I cannot imagine that anyone is that stupid...good grief, they all know that there are hidden cameras EVERYWHERE in the postal warehouses, and out on the docks, and that they are constantly being watched and monitored....this guy had lots of seniority, had worked at the post office for many, many years...well, I guess, unless sometime unforseen happens, he loses his job, loses his pension, loses everything....hes also a military Reservist, still active in the reserves, so dont know what effect this is going to have on his military service, ,and possible retirement....

One of the last guys to retire from the post office, that BigDom knew, went straight to jail, after he retired...apparently several years ago, this guy had several DUIs, but for some reason the judge let him postpone jail time, until after he retired from the post office...I never heard of this before, but apparently it happened...the guy stayed clean after this judge gave him a break, keep his record clear, worked for several more years at the post office, and then retired a few months ago...BigDom said, he had the weekend to get his affairs in order, and then he turned himself in, to start serving some jail time for all his DUIs...in that way he was able to keep working, support his family, earned his retirement, and is now spending some of that retirement in jail, serving out his time...

Grannie...love all those 'helpful' hints on products...good grief, the human race, indeed, does seem doomed, if they really do need such instructions...

This reminds me of Andy, whenever he comes to visit, when he leaves, I always say, "Drive Carefully"...he just rolls his eyes, and says, "Yea, right, like I really need that warning, because I fully intend, to drive recklessly"...smart mouthed kid....
