Weeksy of Christiansquoting wants to cheer us up

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom!!!!!) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well..duh, a bit late, huh!)

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

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 construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding --"Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On a Sears hairdryer --Do not use while sleeping.
(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???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners --"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's just a suggestion.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron --"Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me time?)

On Nytol Sleep Aid --"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(I'm taking this because???....)

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."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts --"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: say what?)

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


Actually I was very pleased to see a kind-hearted person in the restaurant at Ikea had labelled their Hazelnut Danish Pastries "May contain nuts".

Hedging your bets or what?

On Tesco's bottles of milk it reads, "Allergy advice: Contains milk".

By the way, Alan, I'm back from a trip teaching and preaching in Sierra Leone.

I went to Sierra Leone under the auspices of UFM to teach at GTBI (run by Mike Webb with others). You can see more at my blog: http://sdunning.blogspot.com/search/label/Sierra%20Leone
