…while bent with laughter at this especially appropriate rant, I couldn’t get a picture out of my mind—young boys, just into their yanking and wanking years, CERTAINLY too young to know about or be able to purchase a copy of Playboy, Penthouse, and such–sneaking into sister’s or mom’s bathroom supplies and surreptitiously slipping instructions out of tampon boxes for their viewing pleasure whilst engaging in their newly discovered highly-rewarding passtime.

On a positive note, these little foldout wonders could easily be concealed on one’s person–say, tucked into a tennis shoe–without arousing the suspicion that undoubtedly would follow constantly being seen with a rolled-up magazine under a thin little arm.

There’s a bright side to everything. Happy days, Jayne.

I love the warning on Sudafed - “Out of the sight…of children.” As if merely gazing at the lackluster packaging could possibly entice kids into a “I gotta have it” frenzy! I’m going to flash the package in front of some tots and see what happens!

I failed to see the word “never” and immediately ran to get a cotton bud to stick in my nose and ears. I was running around looking pretty silly with these things hanging off of me until I re-read the instructions and saw the word “never”.

Is it just me or isn’t the whole purpose of the Q-tip to jam it into your ear as far as it will go to get that really good wax free feeling? I haven’t yet tried my nose “the front facial passage” but I’m giving it some thought.

I remember those tampon instructions - to this day that side image of the vagina/tampon/finger diagram is still as fresh as the day I first read it. So, why didn’t that instruction for the pessary mention “front passage” after the word vagina? Cotton buds are for sticking in my ear - regardless of warnings.

The best I’ve seen was on a bottle of child’s cough medicine, which in grave tones warned the person consuming the medicine that it could cause drowsiness, so not to drive or operate heavy machinery. It was most depressing, as I’d just hired a team of seven-year-olds to concrete my driveway.

haha i laught to at those instructions from tampons very helpfull! i think there should be one more rule added.
Insert in second hole from behind.

You know, incase there is confusion about that

Man! Glad you cleared that up. I was beginning to wonder what that Vag eye nuh/ virginia/vaggeena word was.

You’re right about the hoo hoo’s on the tampon diagram. They looked like wide opened eyes. Ok, maybe that was a bit too information….

I’m with Eileen. I thought QTips were meant to get rid of all that yucky yellow waxy ear build up. I’ve never needed them for anything else…

I love the directions on things that tell you to do it again, like shampoo, like they’re not sure you’re gonna get it right the first time. “Lather, rinse, repeat.” I’d prefer “Use enough shampoo to clean your hair, then get out of the shower.” I have enough troubles with self-confidence without some cosmetic company impyling that I’m not gonna do a good job of cleaning myself. And I stick Q-tips so far in my ears that I actually use them to clean my brain.

I’m surprised you didn’t find the obligatory disclaimer of “May contain peanuts” on there….

I think the term “back passage” sound too much like “Northwest Passage” and I don’t like the thought of ship-loads of brave explorers searching everywhere to find it.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Wait….make that

HOO HOO HOO HOO

seriously funny stuff.

seriously.

i can’t stop laughing. it’s your fault.

“hoo hoo” LOL! “Back passage” even LOL-ier!
When I was little I had an evil step-mother who would clean my ears with Q-Tips, put them in a baggy, and send them to my mother. This was her way of telling my mother what a horrible parent she was. So my mom cut the “Do not insert into ears” part off the box of Q-Tips and sent it to my step mother. Who’s the better parent now, bitch?

Whee, found another blog to add to my feed reader. Not going to tell you what it is though. haha

I love it…that’s funny!
