"Proof that the human race is damnd to extintion through stupidity!!!"

1. On Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." - This is, of course, how Hemingway died. They made up that other story because it was more macho.

2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."

3. On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."

4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." - (it's only a suggestion)

5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box): "Do not turn upside down." - It should add ..... "oops"

6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." - Strangely enough, that is actually a rarity in the UK. Most things remain room temperature despite their best efforts to refrigerate or cook them.

7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."

8. On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication". I always have told my kids: Children's Cough Medicine and Lathes don't mix. And I won't even talk about the time when my nephew was three. He went on a Cough Medicine Binge and totaled the Buick.

9. On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." - I gave out eleven bucks for this stuff at 7-Eleven, and they're not even sure?

10. On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." - Yeah, now that you bring it up, I've always wondered what the other choices are.

11. On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." - Don't ask. Let's just say that Bangkok is the only place where the other use is legal.

12. On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." - Actually, this one isn't stupid! If you weren't aware, a peanut is not a nut, despite its name. So if you advertise that a can contains peanuts and you pad it out with cheap nuts of some kind, you have to tell people. The label is still funny, though.

13. On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." - well duh

14. On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." - I believe this clearly establishes my case about the relationship between mental disorder and ABBA music.

I saw a tim of corned beef in tescos once that said "new easy open can.......just use can opener".

It made me laugh and laugh and laugh....

Oh yeah and I AM A GIRL so there!

Bimbo

well, they've been going around for at least 2 years now. Still make me laugh every time I read them though.

Surely the Tesco tirimasu must be some in-joke at Tesco HQ...

Actually these are all originally from the New Scientists Feedback page.....so the website in question must have copied them in the first place. I was rather suprised when I got an e-mail with them all in......

Ignore people having a go at you Starguitar mate, they're all jealous because they don't win gameaday. Basically, the thing is, if you take something from another site, it's just a good idea to put down where you got it from. Otherwise the greedy ones riot a bit.

Topic made me smile, anyway. :0)

Calm down people, calm down.

What's up with Lord H then ?

The guy has posted some stuff that's funny and he gets derided - oh yeah - he's a newbie, I suppose you think that's reason enough.

Anyway some good funnies there.

If you're going to write things taken from another site, quote the site you took it from. It's a simple courtesy, and prevents others from accusing you of plagirism.

what the hell have i done wrong???

Take a walk StarGuitar, if that is your real name.

You are a MORON.

errr....... noooooo........ why they hell have you added a link to soming to a site which lets you check wether they is porno on your computer???
