    Default idiot proofing

    i am so stupid i always have to read the saftey directions.

    liquid soap dispencer "not to be taken"

    mower "keep hands away from rotating blades"

    demolition site "keep clear: falling objects may cause injury" (they were dropping bricks from a second story building.)

    hammer "always wear helmet, gogels, ear protection, gloves, dust mark and long pants"

    and then on juice bottles

    "invert before opening"

    so i turned it upside down at removed the lid and boy there was a mess when i was asked what happend i simply said

    'it said nothing about turning it back up straight'

    Warning: May contain traces of nuts. -On a packet of peanuts! But my favourite is the one on a Swedish chainsaw instructions- "Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals!"
    True!
    The collecting of facts is not the gaining of wisdom, or even knowledge; knowing that the earth is round does not prevent our falling off the edge of it.

    Heard about a bloke (american ) who put his winnebago (Sp?) on cruise control and went back to make a coffee . Apparently there is a warning on the cruise control not actually driving the van now .

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Default Stupid instructions

    I dunno Dennis, I reckon advising users not to stop the chain with their hands or genitals would be REAL sound advice. How else are they going to know? I would hate to find out too late!

    If they don't read the instructions then at least they won't have children to make the same mistake.....

    I recently saw a parking ticket machine that had a sign saying "Do not take ticket till it appears" under the ticket dispensing slot.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
