Some reasons why the human race has probably
evolved as far as it can:
The following are actual label instructions
on consumer goods
On Sears hairdryer:

(Gee, 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 a hotel provided shower cap in a box:
Fits one head.
(Damn!)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert:

upside down.
(Too late! You lose!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

(Are you sure??? Let's experiment.)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't that save more time?)
& (Whose body?)
On Boot's Children's cough medicine:

accidents if we
just kept those 5 year olds off those fork
lifts.)

(One would hope!)
On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning keep out of children.
(Oh please?)

(but no peas?)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

On a Swedish chain saw:

to fly.
(Surprise, surprise!)
