Thoughts of two upcoming, 48-hour trips, and trying to pack as much as I can into them.

The Following...................
THE FOLLOWING.............Instructions
I thought these might be helpful in your daily activity. In Honor 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 a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (Damn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
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, it's "just" a suggestion)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
Mark & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating " (...and you thought????)
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." (and...I'm taking this because???)
On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only. (as opposed to what, under water?)
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 Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (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?)
We all need to smile every once in a while

Someone I gave a heart attack to, bright and early this morning, without realizing it.

An attorney.
Him: "Oh, you're from Kentucky. So *that's* where the funky accent comes from."
Me: "I do NOT have an accent!"
Him: "You only have an accent when you're trying to defend yourself by claiming you don't have an accent."
Don't try arguing with attorneys.
