Show and Tell: Unnecessary Instructions

I found several examples of unnecessary instructions that I shared in class on a website called jardMail. Examples included:

On a blanket from Taiwan:
Not to be used as protection from a Tornado

On a package of airline nuts:
Open package, eat nuts

On Sainsbury peanuts:
Warning - Contains nuts

On a Swedish chainsaw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals

On packaging on an iron:
Do not iron clothes on body

On a Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping
