In Honor of Stupid People
Humans are amazing things; there’s no end to the stupidity that normally intelligent people can exhibit at times. For instance the people who write instructions on the labels of everyday items, must suddenly slip over into the Twilight Zone. The following are some warnings and instructions that have been found on various items:
On a hairdryer: “Do not use while sleeping.” (No problem, I usually wait till I’m in the shower)
On a bag of Fritos: “You could be a winner, no purchase necessary.” (this one must have been directed at shoplifters)
On a bar of scented soap: “Use like regular soap.” (thanks for that, I was about to use it like irregular soap.)
On a frozen dinner: “Serving suggestion: Defrost” (Why? I like frozen salisbury steak)
On the packaging of an iron: “Do not iron clothes on body.” (They take the fun out of everything, don’t they)
On children’s cough medicine: “Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.” (Duh!)
On a can of peanuts: “Warning, this product contains peanuts.” (this person must have been drinking that cough medicine)
Speaking of stupid people, I am reminded of an incident that happened here in Alabama some time ago. A young man was wanted for breaking and entering, and the police were looking for him in a wooded area behind the neighborhood where he was last seen. As they combed the area, almost ready to give up the search, one of the men heard a cellphone ringing from above his head. He looked up and spotted the thief hiding in the branches of the tree. The young man was caught, thanks to his Mom calling to tell him that the police were still looking for him.
God must love stupid people - he made so many of them!
Yes, that is all hilarious! God most certainly has a sense of humor, I can see the irony and the hilarity in everyday and every person.
