How Dumb Are We Getting?

I am thoroughly convinced we are getting dumber every day. With each new technology and discovery that seems to point to our intelligence, we match it with equal stupidity. For example, do we really need warnings on coffee telling us it's hot? Or instructions on pop tarts explaining what to do with them?

Today as we waited for my brother and sister-in-law to fill out the paperwork for the boat rental at Bighorn Canyon, we found the instructions below on the microwave..."how to make a cold sandwich hot". They are a little blurry so I restated them below the picture, along with my own editorial of course.

Erica and I about died laughing!

Step 1 "Open both ends of the wrapper."

Step 2 "Set oven timer to letter code on the product label."

Step 3 "Place product in the microwave. Close door."

Step 4 "When oven turns off, remove from package and enjoy!"

Step 3 & 4 are particularly important. It won't heat if you don't actually place it IN the microwave. Nor can you start it if you don't close the door, thus your cold sandwich will never really get hot. Finally, DO NOT attempt to eat it before you take it out of the wrapper. This is very crucial to the digestion process.

HA HA! Hope this makes your day too!
