[Calvin Locke]

Back in the early 19080s, I read a WSJ article about companies that were revamping product labels and services.

One canning company added an 800# and deleted cooking instructions on canned corn.

The 800# was overwhelmed.

The deleted instructions were along the lines of:

1. Open Can 2. Place contents in saucepan 3. Heat.

Of course, canning, according to one theory, led to the development of the ICBM. Since liberals abhor war, they must abhor the weapons of war - ICBMs, the can, and can opener.

Oh, and the company did replace the canned corn instructions.

Think of all the poor folks who starved to death in their showers because the shampoo bottle instructions said:

1. Lather.
2. Rinse.
3. Repeat.

Gosh, do you really need instructions for heating up canned corn?
