What? No replies at all? I knew this list had been doing the rounds on the internet already, but I didn't think that everybody had seen it.

Or am I the only one who thinks it's funny?

I refuse to let this thread die until someone at least acknowledges that the "On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body" one was funny.

they're quite funny. but also sad because you know the reason they exist is because some poor fool actually made that mistake

Now that's the level of appreciation I was looking for.

I know! That's what makes them so hilarious.

I can just imagine someone buying a toaster and going "hmm, it sure would be nice with a newly made toast while I'm scuba diving."

I wonder if it's those Otis Spunkenmyer(sp?) muffins they're talkin' about Those chocolate muffins are so good, if you heat them up for a few seconds
