Labels

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. (Crap, and 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." (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?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands." (...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Mechanic tip of the day...

Hmmm....

My mother-in-law thinks I love ketchup...

I just can't stand her cooking!

Merry Cristmas!

Reasons I voted Democrat:

I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

Because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

Because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.

Because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

Because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few days when someone cannot get their agendas past the voters.

The hoods are getting too brave...

Well on our way to socialism.

George Bush rolled over for the Demolishcrats - again. All these bailouts are like giving money to a crack addict - the problem is still there. Do they think this is going to fix things? Did we have $350 billion just lying around? No, you just went broke-r today, your kids just went into national bankruptcy, your grandkids will never know anything but vicious taxation. I've always tried to buy "AMERICAN" when I can, but from this day forward I will reconsider having another Big 3 auto in my driveway. I can buy metric, made in America by Americans that work for a reasonable wage and benefits just like I do. We just finished bailing out wallstreet for being greedy, now the auto industry for it's mistakes. If the government would step out and let the marketplace purge and restructure, we could come out of this with a healthy market. If it weren't for government restrictions and unions in the first place, the auto industries might not be in this shape. And here we go.............Congress just voted it's self a raise, Carrolton / Farmers Branch just gave their ousted DRUNK DRIVING leader $100,000 severance and ex NTX Chairman gets a years salary of over $200,000 severance unless he finds a new job in the meantime.
OH WELL! We're BROKE!

This will not end well...

Bought 60 shares of E-Trade for $1.18 a share. My purchases are probably higher risk but hey, that's how money is made.

I'm in!

The market that is. I have been waiting for the bottom so I could start investing. Of course it may not be there yet, but it's all a guess. I bought 33 shares of Ford for $2.64 per share. I'm betting there'll be some more fluctuating but it will go back up. I'm waiting for GE and some others to get lower for now. Wish me luck!
