The Human Race is Doomed

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 hairdryer:
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 in side.
(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
edication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we
ould 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 Sunsbury'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 ...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Enjoy
Cris

A girl friend of mine admited that she was
once in a hurry to get out the door and, noticing
a wrinkle in her blouse... well, you know...

(it's not like I'm PROUD to know her, or anything)

Peace. :D
 
Thanx for the laugh. Especially your comments. Wonderful! :) :)

(still laughing...) :)
 
I read some more:

On a pepper spray can:
CAUTION! - May cause eye irritation!

Seen on a container of salt:
Warning: High in sodium

Child seat warning:
"Remove child before folding."

Sign on public toilet:
"Warning: Water is not safe to drink"
 
On the back of one of those childrens toy shields:
CAUTION! this is NOT a personal protection device

Well DAM i wanted to go slay the dragon and now they tell me my shield wont work
 
Further proof that humanity will be extinct by 2100!
From the Darwin awards

(un)Armed and Dangerous
Honorable Mention
A drunk driver? No Darwin.

A one-armed man driving
an unadapted car? No Darwin.

A man driving while talking
on a cell phone? No Darwin.

But a drunken one-armed man driving an unadapted car while talking on a cell phone? Darwin… almost. He survived.

Stuart was stopped by Swansea police after driving through a RED traffic light holding a mobile phone to his ear--with his good arm. His other arm is missing below the elbow, and no help with the gears and steering.

Stuart had almost twice the legal limit of alcohol in his breath. He nearly forfeited his life, but instead he forfeited his license. He was prohibited from driving for 18 months.
 
Need more proof:
(May 2001, Croatia) A college student dropped the ball when a hand grenade exploded while he was juggling it at a party in Vidovci. Six students watching him were also injured.

(11 October 2001, Tennessee) Eight freshman college students were hanging around a vacant library late one night, when they decided it would be a thrill to leap into a small opening they thought was a laundry chute.
Perhaps a few more years of college would have helped them realize that libraries don’t often have laundry chutes. It was actually a garbage chute feeding directly into an automatic trash compactor. 19-year-old Wesley was the first to jump, and he enjoyed an exhilarating three-story slide before being crushed to death in the rubbish bin below.
The other students decided not to follow.

May 2001, New Zealand) You might not like this Darwin involving a thirteen-year-old girl. But think how stupid it is for a teenager to consume insect poison. What kid doesn't know better? Children who sniff aerosol propellant, of all things. As if it weren't dangerous enough inhaling random volatile propellants for fun, THIS girl was found dead with a litter of empty bug spray cans under her bed.
Sniffing poison is worse than sniffing hairspray. She died with elevated butane levels in her blood, which confirm that she had been "huffing" from a can labeled with skull and crossbones. Didn't she notice the dead insects on the label? Think how stupid she was to inhale lungfuls of a nasty-smelling chemical designed to KILL things.
New Zealand's reaction to the news is as expected. Coroner Gordon Matenga is calling for "bigger warnings on fly spray cans" after the second fly spray death in Waikato. He explains, "It (is) prevalent for New Zealand young people to sniff fly spray for a quick buzz." The judges are surprised any kids exist who don't know better.
One fewer exists now!

On plastic packaging...

Keep away from children. The thin film may cling to nose and mouth and prevent breathing. (sometimes that warning is inspiring, just kidding)

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside.
...and when was the last time you took the cover off to look inside?
 
I remember reading that warning and thinking DUH!

Scary, that you think about muntions and the manufacturer puts that on because the military has such high regards of it's troops.
 
Hehehe... :D

Now you realize that Cris?

I'm trying to warn you that your society is doomed to extinction for a loooong time... :D

Yeah... I've already seen this kind of instruction evreywhere... mainly in the US... but in my country we often have this too... ;)

Perhaps capitalism and our sedentary and competitive society is creating mostly people that need this kind of instruction...

Better watch... :D
... ;)

What ICARRYALOTOFBULLETS posted is not funny... what the heck is going on with human beings...??

We know Quantum Physics... Astrophysics... we "understand" the Universe... how can we have this kind of stuff? That's ridiculous...
I guess our "evolution" is not very... smart...

We must be doing something wrong...
... what is it...??

Love,
Nelson
 
Chagur...

Perhaps... :D

...
Do you know what's a waste?
A bus carrying lots of lawyers with two vacant seats falling in a cliff...

... why two vacant seats...
... it should be full... :D

... :p

Love,
Nelson
 
Now thats not very nice:(

Think of the poor driver not only dose he have to put up with them but his last sight would be of a BUS LOAD OF LAWYERS:D
