EVER WONDER where we are headed... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why you don't ever see the headline: "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why "abbreviated" is such a long word? Why Doctors call what they do "practice"? Why you have to click on "Start" to stop Windows 98? Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavour, while dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons? Why the man who invests all your money is called a "Broker"? Why there isn't there a mouse flavoured cat food? Who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavour? Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes? Why they sterilise the needle for lethal injections? Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box? Why sheep don't shrink when it rains? Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? Why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe? AND... In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Myers 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". On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating". 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 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?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while. Thanks to my DiL for this one. Ann Glos

Brilliant Ann - Just read it out to my work colleagues!! Made us all smile :o)))))

Thanks Jack, I thought this was going to be another one that slid offthe board unoticed!! Ann Glos

I changed the title of this one because it was not being read and we all need a chuckle. Or on the other hand maybe my threads are not being read because I have upset people over something. Not that i was on here last night. Ann Glos

This one needs a nudge.

Thanks Jim, one doesn't like to do it oneself does one? ann Glos
