Wrong E-Mail Address

The moral of the story - never type an e-mail address from memory.

As you are receiving my note by e-mail, it's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.

Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

P.S. Sure is hot down here.  Return to top

The Yugo and the Rolls-Royce

A guy driving a Yugo pulled up to a stoplight next to a Rolls-Royce.  He rolled down his window and shouted to the driver of the Rolls.  "Hey, buddy, that's a nice car.  You got a phone in your Rolls?  I've got a phone in my Yugo!"

The driver of the Rolls looked over and said snobbishly, "Yes, I have a phone."  The driver of the Yugo said, "That's great man!  Hey, you got a TV in there?  You know, I got a TV in the back seat of my Yugo!"

The driver of the Rolls, quite irritated by now, replied, "Of course, I have a television.  A Roll-Royce is the finest luxury car in the world!"

The driver of the Yugo said, "Yes, a very cool car!  Hey, you got a bed in there?  I got a bed in the back of my Yugo!"  The driver of the Rolls, upset that he did not have a bed, sped away and went straight to the dealer, where he promptly ordered a bed to be installed in the back of his Rolls-Royce.  The next morning, he returned to pick up his car, and the bed looked superb.  It came complete with silk sheets and a brass-trimmed headboard.  It was clearly a bed fit for a Rolls-Royce.  So the driver of the Rolls began searching for the Yugo.  He drove around all day and finally found the Yugo late that night.  It was parked, with all the windows fogged up from the inside.

He got out and knocked on the window of the Yugo.  When there wasn't any answer, he continued knocking and knocking until finally, the owner of the Yugo lowered the window, and stuck his soaking wet head out.  "I now have a bed in the back of my Rolls-Royce," the driver of the Rolls stated arrogantly.  The driver of the Yugo looked at him narrowly and said, "You got me out of the shower to tell me THIS?!?!

Stupidity

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

 

On Sears hairdryer:

"Do not use while sleeping."

(Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos:

"You could be 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 of box):

"Do not turn upside down."

(Too late!)

 

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

"Product will be hot after heating."

(As night follows the day . . . )

 

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:

"Do not iron clothes on body."

(But wouldn't this save more time?)

 

On Boot's Children's 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."

(One would hope.)

 

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."

(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)

 

On Sainsbury's peanuts:

"Warning: contains nuts."

(Talk about a newsflash.)

 

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."

(Step 3: 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 parents for this one.)
