Years ago I got and e-mail with the subject, "The human race is doomed through it's own stupidity". And when I opened it and read it I had to agree. A conversation with a friend tonight reminded me of that e-mail, so I thought I would share the few bits and pieces of it that I can remember.
These are all real labels/cautions on real products. Unfortunately, I can't remember the brands anymore, but just reading these makes me want to go out to the nearest Wal-Mart and read the labels on all kinds of random stuff!
On a Sweedish made chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.
On a blow dryer: Do not operate while in the shower or while sleeping.
On a child's Superman costume: This costume does not enable you to fly.
On a Sara Lee frozen dessert: (printed on bottom of box) Do not turn dessert upside down.
These are the only four that I can remember. But what makes them even funnier is knowing that in order for them to have to print these caution labels on these products there is some idiot out there somewhere who has tried to do these things. Now that is proof that we are a doomed species!
I know everyone is scared of something. Some people (like me) are scared of a lot of things. One of the things I am the most scared of is the dark. There are good reasons behind my fear. It's logical, considering what started it. But I feel like a coward when I step outside at night. I can't even walk to my car and back to the house without looking over my should the whole time. And my car is not parked far from the door! I can't sleep in a room that is completely dark. I'm 25 years old and still need a nightlight! Despite my reason for being so terrified of the dark, it's a fear I should have been able to overcome years ago. But no matter how hard I try I just can't shake it. It seems I am destined to live the rest of my life sleeping with a nightlight. But at least I gave up the teddy bear lol
