This is off topic, but, thought the thread would get a kick out of it. This may actually be helpful to some..don't worry, no need to admit to anything...

Found this in Friday's local paper:

Instructions

On a large folding cardboard sunshade for car windshields:
"Do not attempt to operate vehicle with sunshade in place."

In a VCR manual in the section about how to record programs:
"Only events in the future can be recorded on this machine, not in the past. Resetting the clock to an earlier time will not accurately record past events."

On a pack of juggling balls:
"This product contains small granules under 3 millimeters. Not Suitable for children under the age of 14 years in Europe or 8 years in the USA."

On a Halloween Batman costume:
"This cape does not give the wearer the ability to fly."

On an iron:
"Warning! Never iron clothes on the body!"

On a helmet-mounted mirror:
"Remember: Objects in the mirror are actually behind you."

On a camera:
"This camera only works when there is a film inside."

On a package of sleeping tablets:
"Warning: may cause drowsiness."

On a car lock that loops around both the brake pedal and the steering wheel:
"Warning: Remove before driving."

On a bottle of flavored milk:
"After opening, keep upright."

In the instructions for a kitchen knife:
"Keep out of children."

On a ocean buoy for determining the position of submarines:
"Protect from seawater."

Ahhh....noooo wooooooonder!! I'll have to start reading a little more <G>.
