Did you ever wonder why???

(I found these from Sarah's Promise, too. I think they'll tickle your funny bone!! They did mine!)

...why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

...why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

...why doctors call what they do "practice"?

...why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dish soap is made with real lemons?

...why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?

...why there isn't mouse-flavored cat food?

...why they don't make the entire plane out of the material used for the indestructable black box?

...why they are called apartments when they're all stuck together?

...why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe?

In case you need further proof the the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." (and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

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

On a bar of dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???...)

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestions: 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 macinery 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 fork lifts.)

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 new's 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.)

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (...was there alot of this happening somewhere?)

  3. Actually Lydia I can put mascara on with my mouth shut!! It's not that hard. Try it!

    I think my favorite is the chainsaw. Although, the cough medicine one is good!
