Since F*x has gone and done it again I thought I'd post this to hopefully cheer a few of you up. Nothing to do with Firefly but it brought a smile to my face when I read it,

Ever Wounder 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 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 sterilize 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 Myer 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." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)

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 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 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?)

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

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Those are great! Thanks for that MrShinyVerse.

Why do calculators count up and phones count down?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways

why are there locks on the doors of 7-11's if they are open 24 hours a day?

why in the 6th century of enlightenment do we still have 400 languages?

why does the government take money away from me to give to people who dont work?

why was Firefly cancelled after 2 months and dancing with the stars is all the talk around the watercooler? (did you see when he twirled her?...that was awesome!)

Some more great ones there. Anyone else have any more "Why" one liners or some dodgy warnings / instructions?

I actually know why they sterilize the needle for lethal injection. It's in case there's a stay of execution after the needle has been placed. They don't want the newly saved prisoner to get an infection.

However I also have one. On large plastic storage containers with lids they have a pic on the inside lid showing someone filling the container with water, placing a baby in the water, and placing the lid on the container with a big red circle with a slash through it...to warn those of us who bath our babies by placing them in a storage container with the lid on.

I've seen all these before - the exact same ones - but it's always good to see them again. Thanks for all the smiles, guys!

Hilarious, thank you for the laugh.

BTW, I think they can't make the whole plane out of the black box material because it would be too heavy to take off. Anyone with experience with planes, confirm or deny.

But it's much easier to shake the baby clean that way!

I've got a bunch of these in a book, which isn't at hand at the moment. I do recall a couple of warning labels:

Hair dryer: Not to be used in shower.

Insect repellant: Fatal to bees.

And one that I'm sure was an entry in a contest:

Refrigerator: Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
