and from this week's New Scientist, the bale of peat from the Gardening Centre: "The peat in this pack has been compressed to 2 and 1/2 times its normal volume".

I once purchased what was billed as an indoor/outdoor extension cord. Reading the attached tag, I learned that this indoor/outdoor extension cord was "for indoor use only."
I believe I once saw a bottle of something or other (soda? fruit juice? beer?) that had these instructions emblazoned thereon: "Remove cap. Drink."

I received a piece of junk mail once that had printed on the envelope; "This is the envelope. Please see letter enclosed."

but I believe it to be true that Wang wished to call it's customer support package "Wang Care" which caused UK smiles.
Yes, heard that. I suppose that's why they've renamed themselves Gen-I!

Well, gen-it-all, anyway.Okay. That's it! As of now, applications to be the Board's gutter police are open. The incumbents have become the crims.

I wish to apply for the job, sir. My major qualification is that I think that the term, "Microsoft" refers to Bill G's sex life, that "hard drive" has to do with male endurance, and "RAM" has to do with his exercising said endurance.
Back to the actual subject at hand (Disregard above paragraph here) I once read a label on a garment that said something like, "This garment is dyed with a dye that may cause bleeding."

That underappreciated gem of American culture, The Simpsons included a great throw-away spoof on these sort of instructions. In one episode, Marge thought that she might be pregnant, so bought a budget home pregnancy test. In the small print on the box were the words: "May cause birth defects."
