I gotta agree with W4J on this one....I iron pretty much all my clothing, even t-shirts and stuff. Though, not jeans, I don't iron jeans. Not because of the environment thing, I just like having my clothes nice and wrinkle-free.

I'll grant you that the dryer may not be the most ecologically sound choice, but when you're talking about the combined laundry for nine people in the winter... we don't have room to string enough clothesline indoors. It's a lot nicer than wearing frozen clothes.

In my experience, ironing everything is a rare thing. Or at least not a fact that comes up in casual conversation. But good for you!

Still, I'm going to stand by the idea that a T-shirt is made of a material that shouldn't require regular ironing, unlike a cotton dress shirt.

Uh, and, back on topic...

I like the first picture, Silver. Nice of them to include a picture so you have absolutely no excuse for making a mistake!

On a contanier of AMAZING MARBLES: Warning- this toy is a marble.

Well, duh?

Oh boy. Here I go...

It seems where ever there is steps now a days there is a sign that says "Warning, steps" and I'm like, "Whew, a least it wasn't an alligator"

And then, the penut butter containers... "Warning: Contains penuts" duh. Not to mention the milk "Warning: Contains dairy products" ... Really? Thats what you are going to go with?

My favorite is the one on my hairdryer: "Do not use in bathtub."

to take that a step further, once I saw a toaster that said "Do not use in bathtub" Ooiy.

ok, it says on the side of a bottle of shampoo I saw: "Do not eat"

I didn't see this one myself, but i heard about it in some contest for "funniest disclaimer":

Do not use CD 3000 as object in catapult.

Cave ne ante ullas catapultas ambules.

I saw this on a toaster: "Don't put children in toaster oven"

yeah. we really need that warning. *sarcasm*

I don't know how often I've seen this, but:
"Not for human consumption." Usually on pet food, skin products, fishing worms, amongst other things...

And then there's the parody of these very sorts of instructions from the original Toy Story:

Not a flying toy - the 'real' Buzz watches this disclaimer at the end of a commercial for the 'flying' Buzz Lightyear action figure

My favorite is the one on my hairdryer: "Do not use in bathtub."

Actually that's a really important one. All hairdryers come with that instruction because people actually die from that. If you drop a turned on hair dryer into a bathtub, it can kill anyone in the water.

I realize that, Kate. It's just ridiculous that people would use the hairdryer in the bathtub in the first place.

Some of these are hilarious! Do not put children in toaster...?

This one isn't actually instructions, but there was one one first page that was similar; There is a law in Oklahoma State that it is illegal to go whaling anywhere within the state border. The 'duh' part comes in when you realize that Oklahoma is a landlocked state, several kilometres away from any oceans or whales.
