Why is it that when someone tells আপনি that there are over a billion stars in the universe, আপনি believe them, but if there is a 'wet paint' sign somewhere, আপনি have to touch it to make sure?
In case আপনি needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
1. On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
2. On a bag of Fritos -- আপনি could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special)?
3. On some Swanson ফ্রোজেন dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).
4. On Tesco's tiramisu মিষ্টান্ন (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
5. On Marks & Spencer রুটি পুডিং -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and আপনি thought??...)
6. On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me আরো time)?
7. On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car অথবা 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.)
8. On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because??...)
9. On most brands of বড়দিন lights -- "For indoor অথবা outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?
10. On a Japanese খাবার processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious)
11. On Sainsbury's পিনাটস্ -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)
12. On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, ooh...fly Delta?)
13. On a child's সুপারম্যান costume -- "Wearing of this জামা does not enable আপনি to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
14. On a Korean রান্নাঘর knife-- "Warning: keep out of children."
(hmm..something must have gotten হারিয়ে গেছে in the translation..)
15. On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands অথবা genitals."
(Oh my ..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
