STUPID INSTRUCTIONS
1. On Sears hair dryer: "Do not use while sleeping". (Gee, that's the
only time I have to work on my hair.)
2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside". (Evidently, the shoplifter special)
3. On a bar of Dial soap:"Directions: Use like regular soap." (And that
would be how...?)
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestions: Defrost." (But
it's "just" a suggestion]
5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box): "Do not turn
upside down". (Oops, too late!)
6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after
heating". (As sure as night follows the day . .. )
7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body". (But
wouldn't this save even more time?)
8. 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 headcolds off those forklifts.)
9. On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness" (One would hope)
10. On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use
only". (As opposed to what?)
