Families Are Like Fudge......: August 2005

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.)
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, it's "just" a suggestion.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Marks &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?)
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)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "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 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?)
I got this e-mail from my mother-in-law thought it was funny and just had to share with everyone |

I Love my Husband but He is a DUMB ASS |
Okay let me start by saying that I love my husband very much but this weekend he proved to me once and for all that he is a dumb ass.
This story starts on Sunday afternoon. My kids had a friend stay the night. Around 4:00 he decides that we need to get out of the house and go do something. Seems that we don't have air conditioning we decide to take the kids friend home and go swimming at her house (they live in a park that has a swimming pool.) We take her home and I visit with her mom, who I work with and have become good friends.
After the kids come back from swimming we load up our lawn mower because the borrowed it and we head home. When we get home we unload the lawn mower and the neighbors are out getting ready to mow there lawn also. While Jason is getting ready to mow the lawn I go inside to get dinner for the kids. Okay somewhere in the 5 to 10 minutes that it took to make a peanut butter sandwich the neighbor asks Jason to help her lower the wheels on there mower. Well being the nice guy he goes to help. Well instead of turning off the mower like he should have he tries to adjust the wheels with it running. Well to make this story a little shorter he looses his balance and puts his hand under the lawn mower to catch. Okay now I'm going to give you one guess to what he did. He come running into the house bleeding and telling me to get into the car because he needs to go the hospital.
Now with that information I bet you have guessed what he did. He managed to get his fingers under the mower where the blade is at. He cut the tips of two of his fingers off. Yes not just cutting them but cutting them off. We get to the ER and they take ex-rays and they tell him that he lost his ring finger at the top knuckle and his middle finger just below the nail. They also give him some really good drugs, wrap up his hand and tell him he needs to go to a orthopedic surgeon within 24 hours. So Monday morning I get up get the kids to school and start making the calls needed to get him into the surgeon with in the 24 hours.
Well we have and HMO for our insurance so we need a referral to go to a "specialist." I call our primary care provider and they want to see him in there office before they refer him to a orthopedic surgeon. After explaining to them whey he needed to see one they made an appointment.
So we get to the office and they take him back. Take of the yucky bandages and look at what they have to work with. They look him over and the good news he they don't think he will need surgery unless it gets infected or some other freak thing happens.
So now you can see why I think my husband is a DUMB ASS. Good grief he should know better than that. |

Super Mario 64 |
Okay I've had a N64 for like 2 years. We play the three games we have occationally. Though recently my hubby and I have become addicted to Super Mario 64. We are trying to beat the game. I have even gone onling and found some cheats to help us but for some reason we can't beat bowser the first time and we can't get any farther until we do. It is so frustraiting. AHHHHHH save me from Super Mario. I think that we are taking it to my new friends house tomarrow. Were going to see if you 11 year old some can help us out. Which I'm guessing he can. Though if you have any sugestions feel free to leave them for me. Anything right now would help |
