Taking the Word to the World and the Cross to the Lost

In case you needed further proof that the human  race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

1. On Sears hairdryer:  "Do not use while sleeping". (Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair)

2. On a bag of Fritos:  "You could be winner!  No purchase necessary. Details inside".  (Evidently, the shoplifter special)

3. On a bar of Dial soap:  "Directions:  Use like regular soap."    (And that would be how. . . ?)

 4. On some Swanson frozen dinners:  "Serving suggestions: Defrost." (But it's *just* a suggestion)

 5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom  of box): "Do not turn upside down". (Oops, too late!)

 6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:  "Product   will be hot after   heating".  (As night follows the day . . . .)

 7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:  "Do not iron clothes on body".   (But wouldn't this save even more time?)

 8. On Boot's Children's 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.)

 9. On Nytol Sleep Aid:  "Warning:  May cause drowsiness". (One would hope)

10. On most brands of Christmas lights:  "For indoor or outdoor use only".  (As opposed to what?)

 11. On a Japanese food processor:  "Not to be used for the other use".  (I gotta admit, I'm curious).

12. On Sainsbury's peanuts:  "Warning:  Contains  nuts".  (NEWS FLASH)

13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:  "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."  (Step 3:  Fly Delta).

14. On a child's Superman costume:  Wearing of  this garment does not enable you to fly".  (I don't blame the company  I blame parents for this one).
