My mum showed me these quotes, I thought they were funny, hope you think so to!!

'note to self: must find out if that was a 'to' or 'too'
Lable's on some products:

On a Myer hairdryer:
"Do not use while sleeping"
(Dammit that's the only time i can do my hair!!!)

On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom):
"Do not turn upside down"
(Well it's a bit late to tell me that now isn't it?)

On a Mark's and Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating"
(And this is a surprise because???...)

On Packaging for a K-Mart iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body"
(wouldn't this save me a bit of time on my shirts though?)

Boot's Children Cough Medicine:
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication"
(yeah, I bet all the road accidents would cut down a lot because we stopped the Five year old driving, after taking their Calpol!)

On Nobby's peanuts:
"warning: contains nuts"
( :blink: Well blow me!)

On Nytol sleep Aid:
"warning: may cause drowsiness"
(Why was I taking this again?)

The internet is full of these.

Japanese Kitchen Knife:
"Keep out of children"

Packet of peanuts on an American Airline:
"Instructions: 1) Open packet. 2) Eat nuts"

Oh, and that "may contain nuts" thing on the packet of peanuts isn't so strange once you know that peanuts aren't actually nuts, but are processed in the same factories as nuts, and therefore must have the warning.

Still, they're usually the things that cause the strongest allergic reactions - and that label is simply due to EU labelling regulations which apply to all sorts of products (or so I thought, although the tub of macadamias and cashews next to me only says "Please remember small children can choke on nuts"), it's not like anyone decided to put it on there in case an incredibly stupid person who was allergic to nuts failed to realise there were some in there.

There's a label on my door which I found in Marks and Spencer on a child's nightie (while I was standing next to it in the queue, before you get any ideas) which reads "In the interest of safety, it is advisable to keep your child away from fire and flame" whcih always tickles me.

Incidentally, that should be a "too".

amazoness girl, out of curiosity, why do you always attach an image at the end of the topics you make? :whistle:

Chainsaw:
"WARNING: Do not try to stop the chainsaw with your hands or genitals"

:roflol:

ENJOY THEM!!!

My favorite was:
On a hose nozzle there was a warning that said: "Do not spray into electrical outlet."

Oh and check out the other pages on that site (stupid signs and so on). :D

These are just a few minor warnings for TOTAL idiots, so there's nothing to worry about, amazoness. :whistle:

allyfaucet 25-11-2005 06:09 PM

You've got to think that with such specific warnings.....it HAD to happen at least once, right? :P
