DIRECTIONS?

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. (But 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.' (not
sure what this one means)
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.'

Play gin-rummy tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
