made myself a tasty BLT this afternoon (+ dill pickle, chips, n' an ice cold corona)- anyways while i'm frying up the bacon i notice on front of the package "serving suggestion"- any guess as to what the "serving suggestion" was? it was a friggin cooked piece of bacon!!!
everytime i cook something these days i look for that innovative, cutting edge culinary tip:
a tv dinner on a placemat with a knife and fork!!! WOW!
kernal corn served on a plate!!! OH MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! why the f*ck didn't I think of that!!??#@
somebody out there must think without that serving suggestion we'd all just try to bite into the can.
jeez, what a world.
anyway, everybody have a great,safe weekend.
i like bacon :police:
I have three words for you: front toward enemy
don't forget, you can't use your hair dryer in the shower either.... :thumb:
and a final tidbit. i would hate to be the guy/gal/child who is responsioble for the label on lawn mowers that warns you not to stick you hands fingers or other dangly bits INTO the blade path while engine is running. says " death or serious injury may occur. " well IIRC death IS a serious injury :dunno_white: "
and coffee is hot.....but still need a warning label for it... :cookoo:
"Serving Suggestion" is there for legal reasons. If your bacon has a picture on the package of bacon with eggs and toast, those words are there so that there is nothing implied about the package containing eggs and toast along with the bacon. Even if they just have a sprig of parsley in the picture, some jackass somewhere will want to sue them because there was no parsley inside the package of bacon.
Yeah, there are people that stupid.
mmmm, bacon. color me distracted :D

Indeed. The other day I bought some exercise equipment with a picture of a hot chick using it on the front of the box. Opened the box.... no hot chick inside! I'm calling my lawyer :police:

I like claymores too. Funny, I even remember them stamping on that on the plastic ones I had for my GI Joes
This reminds me of an occasion when my son and I were sitting in the sun, chewing the fat, havin' a spit and a swear like you do - and a can of beer. Suddenly he burst out laughing - on the beercan there was a "helpline" number........
People are stupid now.
My last job (currently unemployed as of two weeks ago.... fuqqers) was managing a print shop. Guy comes in and wants to get a POSTER of the current idiot in office, Obama. It's a professional picture, so I tell him he's gotta get permission from the site that he got the picture. He starts ARGUING with me. Whatever dude.
A week later, he comes back with the neccessary permission that WE needed. So we print his 30"x40" poster of Osama. Two days later, he comes in and says it looks GREAT. Picks it up and pays for it.
The next day, he comes back in and hassles ME about the poster because HE got it wet and it got ruined. WTF???? It's not MY responsibility to inform him of EVERY danger that could happen when dealing with posters...
"Sir, be careful. It's made of PAPER, so you COULD get a papercut."
"Sir, be careful. If you hang the framed poster right under a light, it COULD create an unsightly glare on the glass."
"Sir, be careful. If you fold it, it will CREASE."
WTF is wrong with people?!?!?
And the same jerkoff that fired me was the one that APPROVED the poster reprint at NO COST to the fuqqer.
I should have kept the knife I had that said "do not insert into child" :cookoo: Of course dealer's now are not supposed to sell the kid sized dirt bikes because they contain lead!
What have we come to!
Mary
Yeah, I love that. Like some kid is going to find a way to take the battery out of his dirt bike and eat it.
That idiocy is actually a loop hole in an otherwise okay law, but it needs to be changed ASAP!
Actually, the CPSIA in its' entirety is absolutel bullsh!t. It only serves to re-enforce the already shady and unreliable practices of major manufacturers (Hasbro, Mattel) while effectively shutting the doors on small American busninesses that can't afford the testing yet are required to have the product tested despite the fact that the substances being tested for are tightly restricted in the US.
It's more DC, I'll line your pockets if you pretend to line mine and give me a hand job instead, BULLSH!T.
mary you are so right- when i was growing up mom and dad taught us to NEVER EVER chew on our dirt bikes.
that's sure to make em pull to the left!!
there's sure some truth to the fear that there's not enough chlorine in the gene pool.
there really should be some kind of competency test to determine who can have children and who can't. it's one thing to be a bit ditzy, but others, well....are just plain dumb. :cookoo:

yeah, when i worked fast food, we had to have a million caution labels on all the fryers, grills and ovens about their potential to harm you. :cookoo:
Most fast food folks can't even tell you what is Coke and what is Diet Coke, so I can see the need for the labels there. :tongue2:
cafeboy that reminds me of the lady that went into a fast food place, ordered a hamburger and request minimal lettuce.
she was told they only had "iceberg"
HAHAHAHAHA :laugh:
That's good stuff.
when ever my son says "I don't know" I always ask him are you trying to work for McDonalds.
fast food jobs weren't really bad. except from the other side of the counter i can tell you that occassionally, the people ordering are just as dumb as some workers.
customer-"how many pieces of meat come on that triple cheeseburger?"
me-"none, all you get is condiments, and two buns."
customer-"then why is it called a triple cheeseburger?"
me-"because you get three condiments: cheese, ketsup and mustard."
customer-"that's dumb, i'm going next door."
me-"okay, have a good day now."
(this was a drive-thru discussion late one friday night at a wendy's i worked for in arkansas.)
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
:cookoo: funny but :cookoo:
some people huh? :cookoo: :cookoo: :cookoo:
yep ;)
Well, that's the problem you were in Arkansas! Where the alphabet is the impossible dream! I can say that I was born in Arkansas :thumb:
Mary
actually arkansas wasn't really all that bad. i lived about 45 minutes from Little Rock. my mother and stepfather and fam still live there. Going back hopefully this coming up may(2010) for my 10 year class reunion. :thumb:
Coolness! I was born in Blytheville, Mississippi county. Why do they have a Mississippi county in Arkansas does that make any sense? I grew up in between the towns of Paragould and Jonesboro in the North East part of the state. We used to always stop in Goobertown which was in between get a six ounce coke and some Tom's Nacho Rings! MMM uhhh that was the shiz nit to a five year old!
Thinking about what an amazing trip on the bike to go through the Ozarks and the Mountain Home area. I can barely remember them but they were purty! I came to Florida at 12 and haven't been back sense :sad:
