Packaged for the stupid

[GasGuzzler]

Instructions on shampoo always got me. If you don't know what to do with shampoo, you likely cannot read the instructions anyway.

Just like the warnings on hair dryers and other electric powered items in the bathroom "Do Not Use in the Shower or Bathtub" Gee, wonder how they figured that out???

 

[asteirman]

Now I don't feel so bad about the Ruger warnings …

Interesting you should bring up reading directions.

My grandma, retired school teacher, read the directions on a frozen pie. Followed them to a t. Well, removing all packaging did not mean the foil pan as well.

At ~75 yrs old she had never cooked a frozen pie, always making them from scratch. The story was a source of humor for years to come, grandma laughing as loud as anyone.

4 legged chinese chickens? We gotta do something about that. We cannot allow a chicken gap!

I avoid eating or feeding my dog anything made in China.

 

[MaxMan]

Makes ya wonder what else they are making in Wuhan????

I thought they were made in eggs

I was born and raised in Mass. Still have family there near the Cape in Wareham. Cape Cod is beautiful. What town on the Cape ? I would say you are probably not from Provincetown. Those from Mass will know what I mean....

Pick your conspiracy on any of the crap that is going on today; but the fact is, what we are now witnessing is the worldwide rise to the supremacy of incompetence. The is NO human organization, none, that is competent; organization the very act of organizing seems to no longer foster efficiency but utter chaos. Government, church, club, HOA -- you name it, screwed-up dumb-as-a-slug incompetent. Competence now survives only in the individual, and those individuals are becoming extinct.

Like gender, one can now be declared competent simply by claiming competence -- in spite of the glaringly obvious gaslighting BS of it all. TS Eliot had it right -- the world ends not with a bang but a whimper.

Packaged for the stupid

It is actually packaged for the average.
The stupid cannot comprehend multi-syllabic verbiage

Why do you think they only have four legs?

 

[GasGuzzler]

The chicken legs pic is fake. The font of "back legs" sentence is different and does not wrinkle like the package. MADE IN CHINA was photo-shopped too.

Still funny.

When first married, my new wife cooked a ham dinner for her new MIL. She didn't notice that the ham had an outer AND inner plastic wrapper. Then baked it long enough to kill trichinosis. Did you know burnt plastic can fuse into ham?

She has three degrees, retired educator. We're not together any more and I cook for my self.

Not a complete list, but it's a good start.

Specialization is for insects."

What's a sonnet? Don't think I can write one but the way it sounds I thing I might be able to draw one.

What's a sonnet? Don't think I can write one but the way it sounds I thing I might be able to draw one.

A type of 14 line poem, dates back to the 13th century.

I think I could and have probably done it... I despised English Literature classes... is why I dropped out of the third try (after failing the first two) and took a journalism class instead.
I think I can do just about all of that, some of it poorly... I can conn a ship, in fact the hardest class I ever took was celestial navigation.... all I can remember now is after getting three reading off the sextant you spent 30 or more minutes doing the math calculations and if you were lucky you'd be within 6 miles of your location and after all this you then punched the numbers into your programmed calculator and it told you have close you were to being right.

There was actually a woman who filed a lawsuit because she became pregnant while using contraceptive jelly. She had put it on her toast and ate it.

Some people really shouldn't breed.

Several years ago I went to the pharmacy and witnessed one of the finest exchanges of stupidity ever.....
A girl came in for a refill of birth control pills. The pharmacist told her that she had only gotten them 3 days ago and that it was a 28 day prescription.... The girl said.... "OH. I thought you took one every time you did it".

My Neighbor, a liberal has been walking around with a lot of pain. I asked what was wrong and he said he had a bad case of hemorrhoids. I ask if there was any thing the Doctor could do. He said they gave him some medicine, a package of suppositories but they were not working. He said,, in fact for all the good they have done me, I could have just as well have stuck them up my A##.
