I know some of these have been around for awhile, but there are a couple I haven't seen yet. It's still funny what companies have to do to get around lawsuits.


Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible.
These are actual instruction labels 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 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 Swann frozen dinners:
Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's 'just' a suggestion!)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)
Do not turn upside down. (Too late! you lose!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure? Let's experiment.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't that save more time?)
(Whose body?)

On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery.
(We could do a lot to reduce the construction
accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)

On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: may cause drowsiness.
(One would hope!)

On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning: keep out of children.
(hmm...something must have gotten lost in the translation...)

On a string of Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
(As opposed to use in outer space.)

On a food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
(Now I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.
(but no peas?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.
(somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...)

On a Swedish chainsaw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.
(Raise your hand if you've tried this...)

On a child's Superman costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
(Oh go ahead! That's right, destroy a universal childhood belief.)

I'm off to Florida for Easter vacation today.
Thank you Ph00ey for the Disney and Universal Studio information.

See ya!

Human Resources Forms


In order to standardize our Human Resources forms we now use just 7
reasons for termination (Based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves):

Happy: Had trouble putting nose to the grindstone. Too much time spent
telling jokes at the water cooler.

Doc: Left to pursue further schooling, in particular, Ph.D. work.

Sleepy: Chronically late for work. Caused many project delays.

Grumpy: Poor attitude toward work. Not a team player. Trouble with
early mornings.

Dopey: Made several critical errors at work costing the company money,
e.g., misappropriated company funds.

Sneezy: Recurrent, chronic illness has made it difficult for the
employee to complete work in a timely fashion.

Bashful: Lack of initiative. Not willing to make cold calls. Too often
let workplace disagreements simmer.

OTHERS
Jealous Queen: Heavy involvement in the occult not congruent with
organizational policies.

Snow White: Sexual misconduct, e.g., kissing strange men while under
some kind of trance.

Huntsman: Couldn't stand to be cooped up in the office all day.
Pursuing work with the National Forest Service.

An old woman was taken to a gynecologist for the very
first time. The doctor was very thorough in his examination,
and of course the old woman was quite embarrassed. Finally,
the exam was over and the doctor told her to get dressed
and come in to his office to talk about his findings.

The old woman listened intently as the doctor gave her the
results. She then said she really only had one question for him.

The doctor said, "What is the question you have?"

"Tell me young man, does your mother know how you make a living?"

Humor from the doctors office.

A man comes into the ER and yells; "My wife's going to have her
baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the
lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there
were several cabs, and I was in the wrong one.
-Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Antonio, TX


At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and
slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I
instructed. "Yes, they used to be," remorsefully replied the patient.
-Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle, WA

One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that
her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes
later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a
"massive internal fart."
-Dr. Susan Steinberg, Manitoba, Canada


I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity
test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began, "Cover your right
eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line perfectly. "Now your left."
Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I requested. There was silence. He couldn't
even read the large E on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had
done exactly what I had asked; he was standing there with both his eyes
covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.
-Dr. Matthew Theodropolous, Worcester, MA


During a patient's two-week follow-up appointment with his
cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his
medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on
a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I
had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the
man had over fifty patches on his body! Now the instructions include removal of
the old patch before applying a new one.
-Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk, VA


While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How
long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered
"Why, not for about twenty years-when my husband was alive."
-Dr. Steven Swanson, Corvallis, OR


I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So, how's your
breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I
can't seem to get used to the taste,"the patient replied. I then asked to see the
jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
-Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI


And the winner is:
A new, young MD doing his residency was embarrassed performing
female pelvic exams. To cover his embarrassment he had unconsciously
formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom he was
performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassed
him. He looked up from his work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I
tickling you?" She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling
was, 'I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener.'"

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can
see from her nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia
Whack. So he says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy
a boat and go on a long vacation."

Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he
wants to borrow.

The frog says $30,000.

The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is
Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's OK, he
knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money
and that he will need to secure some collateral against the
loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink
porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall that is bright pink
and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with
the manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says: "There's a frog called Kermit
Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow
$30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up
the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"...

The bank manager looks back at her and says: "It's a knick
knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a
Rolling Stone."

Styl Skinner it's a play on words from a childrens song.

An 80 year woman married an 85-year-old man. After about six months together, the woman wasn't feeling well and she went to her doctor.

The doctor examined and said, "Congratulations Mrs. Jones, you're going to be a mother."

"Get serious doctor, I'm 80."

"I know," said the doctor, "This morning, I would have said it was impossible, but this afternoon you are a medical miracle."

"I'll be darned," she replied and stormed out of the office. She walked down the hall and around the corner to where the telephones were. In a rage, she dialed her husband.

"Hello" she heard in his familiar halting voice.

She screamed, "You rotten SOB. You got me pregnant!"

There was a pause on the line. Finally, her husband answered, "Who's calling please?."
