wednesday's thoughtsHave you....

Ever wondered..


...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?
...why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, 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-flavored cat food?
...who tastes dog food when it has a "new & improved" flavor?
...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?


Did that get your mind thinking??
On a lighter note... These labels really got me cracking....

On a bag of Chips:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap:
"Directions: Use like regular soap."(and that would be how???....)

On some frozen foods:

"Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion?!)

On Nanna'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 an iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body." (Wow.. we learn something NEW today?!)

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." (Are there others?)

On Nobby'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...burpp?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (Didn't know 5 year olds could even touch the pedals?!!)



Anymore to add...??

You really saved my day.
I was about to write a very depressing post about my day on my own blog, but I'm not sure I'm capable of doing that now...
I haven't stoped laughing yet. How did you come up with all that?
