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?)
 
Saw this one in a bathroom at a chinese:
Caution! When water is on the floor it is wet!
 
"For external use only!" -- On a curling iron
 
mello-yellow once bubbled...
"For external use only!" -- On a curling iron

And just what is there to curl....never mind. I don't think I want to know! :confused:
 
"..Fits one head" - On shower cap box

"..Warning: Keep out of children. " - On korean kitchen knife..

LOL

Do not place hands or feet under while running....

on a lawn mower.
 
"Opens like Magic!

Directions: Open and close like any other umbrella. "
 
I used to be a chemist and I had to perform analytical tests on these nonoxynol-9/spermicidal wedges. The woman inserts them prior to intercourse. I kid you not, I counted once...16 times on the package and insert it states "DO NOT EAT OR TAKE ORALY" and believe it or not, there were still tons of people who did just that every year that our complaints department had to handle. Go figure.
 
LOL

the August issue of a magazine put out by Safeway supermarket in the UK had this to say in a fact file about teeth: "Tooth enamel is made of calcium, phosphorous and water; your teeth contain 99 per cent of the body's calcium."

Does this mean that people with false teeth have more difficulty standing upright than the rest of us?

;-)
