- A room temperature IQ.
- Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together.
- A photographic memory but with the lens cover glued on.
- As bright as Alaska in December.
- Gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
- He's so dense, light bends around him.
- If he were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

It's scary to think that some of these instructions are the result of problems previouslyexperienced by consumers.lol
So that's why my hair always looks so funny! I've been using my hairdryer while sleeping! Guess I should have read the label!
haha, all very funne Akela, you would think some of those instructions would not be necessary. Wouldn't you..haha
I watch British mysteries, and they are always mentioning places that I would love to visit. I am going to have to some day.......York sounds wonderful. Will you get a few pics?
Another good set. Hey, when you get back, you can see that I've posted my inspirational awards. Thanks again.

Hope you hada fabulous day and didn't experience #6. R; the food warnings..I've actually noticed some of these myself...I did have a microwave instruction book once that said "Do not use to dry pets!!!" :o)

Very cute Akelamalu,,,where do you get these things??? lol
I guess the one that scares me here in the USA is the Braille on the buttons of the drive-up ATMs...
Funny post :)
OK, this is sooooo funny and so true. It's sad what companies have to do to cater to people and keep away the law suits
I guess there's no overestimating the "average" consumer. Sigh. Have a great trip.
How 'bout "the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top"?
Take care, and HAVE FUN!
Lol . . . The tag you dropped us ages ago (sorry) will be up later today.
Hope you had a good day, I love York & all that history x x
All those stupid warnings are on products because people have actually attempted those moronic moves...and probably tried to sue!

What always makes me laugh at work are the instructions and advice that come with drugs used for anaesthetics, like you would want to give yourself one, its ridiculous!!

Thanks for dropping by ....I am trying to catch up....hope life is treating you well....our boys have now left and a huge void currently is in our lives.....today I worked overtime...and then came home and did house chores...just to keep me busy so I don't think about missing them.....cheers......
