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


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.)


========================



On a Swedish chainsaw --
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)


===========================




Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread
the stupidity to someone you want to bring a smile to
(maybe even chuckle)...


=============================

This is a true story, indicating how fascinating the mind of a six year old is. They think so logically.

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home. She read, "and so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?"

The teacher paused then asked the class: "And what do you think the man said?"

One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly, I think the man would have said: "Well, [Poor language removed] me! A talking pig!”

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
 
this is an actual convo between my friend and someone from a different part of his company:




Me: Software support, Mark speaking. How can I help?

Customer: Its not working....

Me: The software?

Customer: Yes...

Me: What the error?

Customer: I told you its not working...

Me: I'll need to know what error message is and where it is before I can help you.

Customer: Its says 'Unable to connect to remote server.' when I try and do an online update.

Me: Ok. Do you have a firewall on your system?

Customer: No.

Me: Ok double click on .... [static]

Customer: Sorry about that im having to use my mobile as my telephone line is down.

Me: Ah that'll be why the online updates don't work then.

Customer: No its not! Your just using that as an excuse to get rid of me!

Me: But how can the online updates work if your phone line is down? How would you connect to the internet?

Customer: I dont know your the expert!

Me: Well you can't do it without an internet connection.

Customer: Yes you can!

Me: How?

Customer You tell me.

Me But you can't how would it get the information?

Customer: Well thats no good to me then. Perhaps you should get your programmers to come up with a better solution.

Me: But without an active connection there is no other way

[he hangs up]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was an actual log from my records. Now this is how it should have gone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: ....

Customer: Hello? I have a technical query.

Me: I am Melvin the impaler. Kneel before me!

Customer: Is this technical support?

Me: Yes and now you must suffer!!!

[he hangs up]
 

A very confident James Bond walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, and then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" "No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the-art watch. I was just testing it."

The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?" Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talk to me telepathically." The lady says, "What's it telling you now?" "Well, it says you're not wearing any knickers...." The woman giggles and replies," Well it must be broken because I am wearing knickers!" Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."
 
Irish technology

An oldie but worth remembering.........................................

Three men - an American, a Japanese and an Irishman were sitting
naked in
a sauna. Suddenly, there was a beeping sound. The American pressed his
forearm and the beep stopped.

The other men looked at him questioningly.

"That was my pager" the American said. "I have a microchip under the
skin
of my arm."

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted his
palm to
his ear.

When he finished his conversation, he explained:

"That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."

The Irishman felt very low tech, but was determined not to be out
done. He
stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. He returned with a
long piece of toilet paper trailing from his backside.

The others raised their eyebrows at him. The Irishman glanced around and
said:

"Bejesus! Wouldja look at dat!! I'm gettin' a fax!"
 
A shy, but drunk young man walked up to a beautiful woman in a bar and said, "Do you mind if I ask a personal question?"

"Yes I sure do," she replied "but go ahead, since I'm sure you are going to ask anyway."

"Okay," he said, "How many men have you slept with?"

"That's my business!" she snapped.

"Oh, cool!" he said. "How much?"
