    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’s 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 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 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.)
