I WONDER WHY???

[Bill]

If nothing sticks to teflon, why does teflon stick to the pan?
Why do they put braille dots on the keypad of drive-up ATMs?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

why is it when we are driving around looking for an address,we turn down the volume on the radio?

I know for me, I turn down the radio while looking for an address to hear myself think!

You have too much time on your hands!!
- I wonder why on Children's medicine it says, "Use caution when driving a motor vehicle or operating machinery"


The box that I am currently typing from also says "As with any drug, if you pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of a health professional before using this product."

HUMMMM!! Yeap it is children's chewable grape flavored allergy tablets!!

Those are good questions, and I don't know the answer to any of them. But you got a laugh out of me for the day.

PS. This should be the post that makes me a member. I hope!

Some of these are just too funny... that #15 one really got to me though... THAT might hurt just a bit... LOL Thanks for sharing!

[angie r]

I think the funniest think about most these is that someone, somewhere had to have this happen to them for the company to print that warning on the label. Hello?? LOL

[KarlaB]

My question is, when they come up with these warnings do they realize how off the wall they are????? Thanks for a good laugh! :)

[Diane]

I suppose they do, but because their are always going to be these big dummies out there that do STUPID things... they have to print out these warnings or they'll be sued when somebody does them. LOL Some things are SO obvioius though... aren't they? I mean, come ON! LOL

[Leigh]

I have been cleaning all day and just stopped in to see what was new, I must say that those made me laugh and put me in a better mood. I just might be able to finish cleaning the house now. LOL!!

[KarlaB]

Glad to hear some one is getting something done! :) Actually, we painted our living room yesterday and I touched up the paint in older ds's room.
