Things that make you go, "Well OF COURSE!"

[ChrisO]

Here’s another one quite often seen on medicine bottles: -

“Shake well before use.”

I shook it two months ago; is that enough?

I used to work for a chain of jewellers and they had a Christmas sale tape that the shop had to run on a loop. It contained the phrase

'If you spend over one hundred and fifty pounds or more...'

Used to drive me mad. In this context, 'over' is the same as 'more' - use one or the other.

next to the 30ft Christian Cross, similar to the ones you can see on every interstate in the USA now.

Is it a custom in your part of the world to bury survivors, since by definition they are still alive?

Is it a custom in your part of the world to bury survivors.

Eventually - yes.

 

[boblarson]

Eventually - yes.

Ah, can't use them as fireplace fuel then?

that depends. if they are from the corporate HQ then by all means use them as fireplace fuel

No good. Manure won't burn until it is good and dry.

My sister swears she saw the following sign in a jeweller's shop in Dublin about 10 years ago:
"Ears pierced while U wait".

What, you mean I can't leave my ears here, do my shopping and collect them later?

My brother (the Radio DJ) also used this one on the air:

"I saw a sign the other day. It said 'Wet Floor' so I did."

Use to have one of those cardboard-and-foil sunscreens you put behind your windshield to keep the sun from heating up your car. On the inside part it said "Warning! Remove sunscreen before driving."

"Hey honey, I don't know why I can't see any oncoming cars!"

"Disturbingly, almost half of those tested were rated below average."

Not quite sure what they were hoping for.

"Disturbingly, almost half of those tested were rated below average."

Not quite sure what they were hoping for.

Hardly any if it was the IQ of surgeons?

Or if was the number of people with below average number of legs - I'd have expected much much less than half.

That is disturbing - perhaps someone has let the surgeons loose.

My wife was in NZ recently and emailed me asking if I had rec'd all the emails she had sent me

I should have copied to her al the emails I hadn't rec'd

You may chuckle at your wife, but what if it had been a firm connected with networks that did it, or something similar.

Recently I had a credit card account frozen due to a fraud attempt, I was going on holiday the following day and when I returned I had no Internet connection. It turned out that I had missed a continous authority payment, so the ISP emailed me and then suspended the account !!!
It actually got worse but here is not the place to go into details, but I do have a new ISP.

I was going to say BT?

But that was too short , I shall use the Obamaism of ****ing British Telecom?

 

[Brianwarnock]

It wasn't BT but don't get me started on them.

"Disturbingly, almost half of those tested were rated below average."

Not quite sure what they were hoping for.

Technically speaking, it's possible for more than half or less than half to test below average if someone inflates it by being far above average. Now if we're talking about a median score, that's a different story.

This one is more of a "Things that make you go 'HUH?'". When I was visiting Northern Ireland in 2008, most of the fast food restaurants that served breakfast were touting "Free-Range Eggs!". Now, eggs from free-range chickens I could understand, but just how far can an egg range?

I guess it depends on which side of the roof the egg falls when the rooster lays it.
