In Honor of Stupid Directions.
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 Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(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???....)
============================

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 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 bulldozers.)
=============================

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(...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: say what?)
=============================

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?)
===========================
