Talking An email someone sent me...

EVER WONDER...
...why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
...why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
...why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
...why "abbreviated" is such a long word?
...why doctors call what they do "practice"?
...why you have to click on "Start" to stop Windows 98?
...why lemon juice is made with artificial flavour, while
dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
...why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?
...why there isn't mouse-flavoured cat food?
...who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavour?
...why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
...why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
...why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box ?
...why sheep don't shrink when it rains?
...why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?
...if con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
...why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe?

>
>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

>
>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."

>
>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

>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?)
>
>I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a
>child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable
you
>to fly."
>
>On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands
or
>genitals." (...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
