On a lot of products I've seen some stupid stuff. The main ones are:


Peanuts - Warning may contain nuts.

Chainsaw - Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.

Electric Fence - Touching fence will result in fatal shock. Violators will be prosecuted.


Post some that you found.

Outside my house there is this really big dull green building, one big rectangle with no windows, and on the top of the building is the same color are the words, "Productivity House". I can only imagine what is inside!

On a Harry Potter fake broom, it read: "Will not cause user to fly." Or something close to that.

Hope this makes you smile...
EVER WONDER where we are headed...

Why the sun lightens our hair,
but darkens our skin?


Why women can't put on mascara
with their mouth closed?


Why you don't ever see the headline:
'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why 'abbreviated' is such a long word?
Why Doctors call what they do 'practice'?
Why you have to click on 'Start'
to stop Windows 98?

Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing
liquid is made with real lemons?
Why the man who invests all your money is called a 'Broker'?
Why there isn't mouse flavored cat food?
Who tastes dog food when it has a
'new & improved' flavor?
Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the
indestructible black box?
Why sheep don't shrink when it rains?
Why they are called apartments when
they are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro,
is Congress the opposite of progress?
Why they call the airport 'the terminal'
if flying is so safe?
AND...

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because
of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer
goods.
On a Myer hairdryer:
'Do not use while sleeping'.
(Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).


On a bag of Chips:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(The shoplifter special?)


On a bar of Palmolive soap:
'Directions: Use like regular soap'.
(And that would be how???)



On some frozen dinners:
'Serving suggestion: Defrost'.
(But, it's just a suggestion).


On Nanna'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 K-Mart 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 Nobby'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?)


I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for this one:
On a child's superman costume:
'Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly'.


On a Swedish chainsaw:
'Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals'.
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)




got this off of some chain mail.

The best part is, there had to be someone out there who has done those things to have them marked on the label.

A shop at my local shopping centre is called 'Jack in the Box: Movies and Books" and it had a sale the other day: "50% off everything except Movies or Books"

On the Lucky Charms box I opened this morning:
