DAFT INSTRUCTIONS

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some very real label instructions on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.
On a bag of Fritos crisps: ... You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."
On some frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down."!
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating"
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
On Boot's Children's 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 colds off those forklifts)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness"
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 Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, Eat nuts"
On a child's superman costume: "Warning: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
And finally ... On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(... was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
