Namaste all,

I figure if we can't make our difficulties disappear, we can at least laugh them off...

A kind person shared this with me, and I with you. Enjoy!

Blessings to you all,
Dina

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

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 Delta.)

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? My God!)

Now that you've had your laugh it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone who needs a good laugh...in other words send it to everyone. We all need a good smile every once in a while.

Priestess,

If all you needed was a laugh today...and you got it, Well you are most fortunate then.

Glad it was timely, as all things are. Hope the laughter and smiles continue.

Blessings always,

Hol'o Bon Bon!

I owed you...the previous post was too much. So, I was glad to make it up to...and me as well.

Glad you liked it. I had the same reaction. I am fortunate in that this beautiful spirit that only knows me by my e-mail address has kept sending me inspirational & uplifting messages, and this is one of them, for the past 2yrs.

Keep laughing...

Blessings,
Dina

Well, like everyone else, I have several problems going on at the same time.

However, I needed the laugh to keep my spirits up..

As someone told me recently (thank you Terry) This too shall pass.

Blessings,

Namaste Priestess,

I understand. I wish things were so different for so many, in so many places...but things are what they are for that time.

It's funny how things work out. I am glad "this too shall pass" made it's way to you. I actually have to give credit to Vinny. That was one of the sites the he introduce for readings during the 21 day meditation. I think it was from osho.com under their tarot readings. Interesting site...you should check it out.

With lots of love,
Blessings,
Dina
