Reasons why the human race is doomed

Got this in an email the other day:

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sear's hair dryer: ..Do not use while sleeping. (damn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.) On a bag of Fritos: ...You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?) On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....) On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion.) On Tesco'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 Rowenta 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 Sainsbury'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?) On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.) On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?).

Anyone got any others?

In a Wal-Mart dressing room...

This is not a bathroom! The bathrooms are located on the opposite side of the store. Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.

That was disturbing... anyways...

I was once in a bathroom and there was this big sign on the wall that said, "Do not throw paper towels in toilet." Well I took a paper towel, dried my hands.... and there were no trash cans in the bathroom at all!

I remember the day I tried to stop a chainsaw with my genitals... :eek: That was not a very happy day. :( Now I always read the warning labels before doing ANYTHING with my genitals. ;)

You know, it's funny...the pub across the road from my flat has a condom machine in the male toilets that says "WARNING : Do not use these products whilst driving!"

When you brush a toddler's teeth, you can't use regular toothpaste because he'll swallow it, and the flouride is bad for him. So there's special toothpaste for toddlers.

When my boy started getting his teeth, I ran out and bought a tube of toddler toothpaste right away. The label says "non-toxic" and "safe for children" about fifteen times, just in case you don't get it the first few times.

In the fine print it says, "Keep out of reach of children."
