with real lemons?

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