No offense fellas - but rt49 is right!!! They come across as so macho - until they are sick - then the whole world is supposed to stop spinning and everything is to come to an end so that they can be cared for! Then they get better and go back to being macho! LOL

Ya know, my hubby has done some MAJOR damage to himself. Including almost cutting off his thumb, pinching himself with plyers on the chest and drilling through the palm of his hand. I got to see him do all 3 of these things and almost wet myself laughing because of the stupid thing he was doing when he got hurt. But anyways, back to my point..... He goes right back to work. Get him an old rag to wrap around the injury and he's fine!!! But if he gets a little snot running out of his nose, the man is bed ridden!!!!
 
LOL - I absolutely love it!!! My dad was totally spoiled with mom doing everything. Every day - everything homemade - and he only lifted his fork to eat. We slaved for dad. He'd walk in the door from work and hang his jacket on the door knob - I'd grab it and hang it up. He would plop his keys on the dresser with his wallet - I would put them in his wooden men's contraption that held such things. Then I would pick up his shoes at the door and put them away. He would wash for dinner and sit in his chair at the table - hot meal served from the table and we were all in place to eat. After dinner - he grabbed the newspaper and retreated to his lounge chair while we cleaned the mess. In my late teens mom had gotten very sick - to the point she could not get out of bed at all. She could not cook. I came home from work to see mom flat on her back in bed (NEVER saw that before) and dad sitting in his lounger, holding his belly and groaning! I did not know what happened! Well - mom was too sick to cook - and dad had to make his own dinner - so he made a sandwich. You would think the world came to an end. So I made dinner - but he could never get over the day mom didn't cook. The next day I set the table before I went to work and I made hamburger patties, seasoned the way dad liked and placed them on a plate in the fridge. I made macaroni salad and potato salad. I placed the skillet/cover on the stove and the bottle of oil on the counter and the serving utensils were on the table for the salads. I wrote him a note - how to heat the pan, add a bit of oil, remove the patties from the fridge, throw away the plastic wrap that covered them, place the dish from the raw meat in hot soapy water, and to use the "flipper" on the counter top to turn the burgers as they cooked and that salads were in the fridge. I come home from work and there is mom - she could barely stand up - frying the patties and dad sitting at the table waiting for his meal. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I just dared him to say his meal was not hot and ready when he came home from work! If he would have commented I would have told him to make his own sandwiches. Dad is no longer with us - and I always comment that it must have been the day that he had to make his own sandwich for dinner that did it to him! (That was not how he passed!)
 
Your dad sounds so much like my grandpa... It's uncanny. My hubby's not allowed in the kitchen, even if I'm not cooking. He gets into everything, I swear he's worse than a 5 year old. He will steal slices of cheese to eat, even if I just gave him a couple sandwiches for lunch. He just did this one to me. He 'nibbles' on things & then leaves the remains on the counter/stove for me to clean up or put away. Grrrrr, I love him but he drives me crazy with his constant nibbling on things.
 
I am glad to say I know a man that is different

I know I go on about my hubby but I do truly appreciate him. My dad and granddad were just like mama mangias. I do think more men are being brought up differently now days. My son can cook and clean. My brothers can cook and clean and I married a man that can cook and clean hallalugha, Time's are changing some what.:D
 
It's amazing the kinds of "warnings" that companies will put on their lables to keep from getting sued.
 
The tag on my hair dryer says that I should not use while bathing! Does that mean I can't plug in my radio and put that in the tub with me too???? Even my electirc shaver says not to use while bathing! NO FUN!!!! LOL Looks like I won't be getting any charges out of life! (excuse the pun)

Not food...but I like the one on my hair dryer that says

"do not use while sleeping"

This thread is really funny but this quote made me laugh really hard. Companies feel the need to put those warnings because, maybe people have become really that stupid that it becomes a necessity.
 
OMG that's the Sears hairdryer LOLOL!!! I've never heard of sleepdrying, unless the person is sleepwalking???:eek:

Another funny warning on our foods:

On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
Tesco's Tiramisu dessert:(printed on bottom of the box) Do not turn upside down - great.

How about these? Not food but really made me laugh and say huh?

A child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." HUH? :confused: (this may qualify as a WTF of the Year)

The way things are going today I bet they start putting more "warnings" on everything they can think of.

Can you imagine every bag of dry beans and cans of beans having a warning - MAY CAUSE GAS! DO NOT CONSUME IN CLOSE ENVIRONMENT!

What I find unbelievable is the fact that the government is stepping in on trans fats and what fats are used in restaurants; and rumors of portion sizes that are to be served! Sorry - I don't agree with that at all. If a person wants to eat all they want or fattening foods then it's a choice they made. But yet our government wants us to eat cloned and irradiated food items. And they agree with hydroponically grown veggies - and that is all chemicals.

Makes ya just wonder..............................
 
Its just one more example of the government wanting to control every aspect of our life... It wouldn't surprise me at all if they started sticking their noses into how many children you have, how far apart they are, how you feed them as infants, etc.
 
that'll be the day for a serious uproar! Gov't has just gotten too involved in some things. Don't they think there are far more serious matters to deal with than silly warning labels and restaurant portion controls?
 
This thread is hilarious! You all really have me laughing.

What about the warning on hemorrhoid cream? Not to be taken orally. just... ewwwww.... WHO did that to where they had to warn people not to?

haha thats very hilarious
 
It's really sometimes that people are really stupid. Like a certain person staring on a juice bottle. Just because the bottle says "concentrate". How will he be able to drink the juice of he hadn't understood the label?
