You know we catch a lot grief in Wilmington at times, and the deep South, due to our "SWAAT TEA" and "Ya'll come back now".
Some people from more gramatically correct areas of the country can at times...well...you know...it's rather difficult to say this since I'm "from 'round here", but those tourists can get the idea that "weun's in the south" are stupid folk.
So today, with the help of an email friend from South Care-Lina I'm making it NATIONAL STUPID DAY. After all, it's Monday and what else do you have to celebrate on the 28th of Hot July, 2008? It's sure not the gas prices! And depending on what the Banking Industry does this week, it may not be the housing market either! Here goes... (I sure hope the graphics show up!) It's National Stupid Day. So Enjoy!
In Honor of Stupid People . . .
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on
consumer goods.
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) --
'Do not turn upside down.'
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
==========================
On Sainsbury's peanuts --
'Warning: contains nuts.'
(talk about a news flash)
===========================
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 Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding --
'Product will be hot after heating.'
(...and you thought????...)
=======================
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'sjusta sug gestion.)
========================
On packaging for a Rowenta iron --
'Do not iron clothes on body.'
(but wouldn't this save me time?)
==============================
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 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?)
===========================
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread
the stupidity to someone you want to bring a smile to
(maybe even chuckle)...
=============================
****Blessed are the cracked:
for it is they who let in the light *****
It's the insanity that I have experiencd trying to figure out Mike's Saturday night in the Desert Blog that has driven me to insanity. I'm feeling pretty stupid!
