Funny Stuff We've Found Through the Web

Okay, it's a blond joke...... but it's funny

A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and tells him that her body hurts wherever she touches it. The doctor asks her to show him what she means. She takes her finger and pushes on her elbow and screams in agony. She then pushes on her knee and screams, pushes on her ankle and screams...and so it goes. No matter where she touches, her agony is apparent.

The doctor says, "You're really a blonde, not a brunette, aren't you?"

She sheepishly admits that indeed she is a blonde. "I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."

Unusual Problem for a Sad Situation

I don't usually pass on news like this, but sometimes we need to pause and remember what life is about. There was a great loss recently in the entertainment world. Larry LaPrise, the Detroit native who wrote the song "Hokey Pokey," died recently at the age of 83. It was especially difficult for the family.
 
It seems that they had some trouble keeping him in the casket. They'd put his left leg in and.........
well you know the rest...

Consumer Labels

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
(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 its "just" a suggestion)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down."
(Too late!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(As night follows day . . .)

On packaging for a Rowenta 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 all those accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds out of those cars.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(One would hope.)

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."
(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
(Talk about a news flash )

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: Fly United.)

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame parents for this one.)

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