Are people really getting dumber

[degoba]

Wait. You mean you're not supposed to eat those things?

[Duke]

Nope.

You've got to dissolve them in coffee like the rest of us

I think the one that always got me confused is the paper fast food coffee cups with the warning, "Caution: Content may be hot!"

Well no kidding!!! You ordered hot coffee didn't ya?

[Duke]

On the subject of 'stupid labels and signs, '

Some of my favorites include:

"No dogs allowed except seeing eye dogs"

And most every big-city and interstate McDogfood's has this one:

In English:

"Picture menus available for our Non-english speaking patrons"

I mean _COME__ON_!!

Who's reading these signs?!

[dan the motorcycle man]

those remind me of braille signs I've seen at the zoo and aquarium... I guess you can smell the animals and marine life...

oh and the braille signs at art galleries next to the "do not touch" signs.

[Duke]

I also love --

oh man,

there was some off-brand Band-Aid (Off Brand Aid?) that had cartoon characters on it.

K got some for the girl's 'learning to ride a bicycle' boo-boos.

The label on the back of the box actually said "for external use only."

What are other people _doing_ with these things?!

Somehow, discussing dummies tends to do that.

Next time any of us get face to face,

ask me about a guy named Kieth
