Stupid Warning Labels

Plus a blowtorch, just in case they survive; cuz they're bound to want to dry their hair after.

[Tria]

Nah. If anyone tries, give them a hairdryer, because we all KNOW they'd use it in the shower. There, problem solved.

Then murder charges.


Tria, being the killjoy.

[MadMike]

...and don't forget the Superman costume for good measure.

Uh no... it wouldn't be our fault if they misused the hairdryer, blowtorch and Superman costume.

And now I'm having a bizarre mental image of them misusing them all simultaneously somehow.

O_o Me too.

As an animal (especially cat) lover, this makes me angry.

It's called, dry them with a frickin' towel and let 'em dry themselves.

Me too. Besides, why would you wash a cat? They're self-cleaning. Unless he's starting to smell funny or has gotten into something gross, there's no way I'm giving my kitty a bath.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Once when my cat was a kitten, my dad accidently dropped Fairy liquid on her. My mum and I took her upstairs and washed her. We were both scratched to pieces by the time we'd finished and rushed her to the vet. She was fine tho, cuz we'd acted so promptly.

From what I understand, there are multiple stories out there involving a woman who washes her poodle or cat and puts it into either an oven, clothes dryer or microwave to dry it quickly. The result always is disgustingly tragic.

I can’t help but wonder if maybe there hasn’t been at least a germ of truth in the origin of the legends, though.

The Snopes website has a whole page devoted to this legend

My aunt managed to do it once, but not on purpose. They had a litter of kittens in the house and one crawled into a sleeping bag that consequently got put in the dryer

However, the kitten that managed to get into the refrigerator survived, but it ate most of a roast beef that they had intended for dinner that night

Best superhero fight EVER!!!

Another been close to a combine? Particularly when it was running? If you have, then you know that there is a whole lot of violent moving parts. These things are, of course, plastered with warning stickers and labels-mostly to keep your hands off of the extremely dangerous moving parts. Damn near every farmer knows to keep his hands the hell off of them, but if you look closely, there are a surprising number of farmers our there with missing fingers-including two uncles and a cousin.

On a related note, I recieved the following information from the mom of a friend: "Don't put your hands anywhere you won't put your privates" -information that has gotten a LOT of anxious teens in trouble!

It would make an interesting video on YouTube.

Its the instructions on the pack of toothpicks I'm waiting for:

"It seemed to me that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilzation in which I could live and stay sane."

On a packet of aeroplane pretzels:

"Open bag. Eat pretzels."

No word of a lie. I saw that on a pretzel bag last summer when I went on holiday to Cyprus. I felt my IQ drop a few notches just reading that.

"Oh, you mean I was supposed to open the bag first, and then eat the pretzels? No wonder they tasted funny!"

Seriously, for them to have put instructions like that on them, at least one person must have gotten it wrong somehow.

I think its Bill Bryson who speculates that farmers go a little stir-crazy under the sun all day, so they look at a combine and go, "so, what WOULD happen if I just stuck my hand in there...". Like Spiffy, he also remarks on the large number of farmers missing a digit or two !
