Will you dry it out in the microwave, too?

Maybe she thought she was allergic to white eggs only, and the carton she bought was all brown eggs ... ?

Thank heaven they were brown eggs.......... If allergic to only whites in eggs ? written tongue in cheek .

Remember on old video game cases it would say "Only used for (game system)" and I once read a story online in a post and someone bought GoldenEeye007 for their PC only to take it back in pieces because they couldn't get it to work on their PC. There was another story in that same post when someone called the Nintendo hotline and said they couldn't get their SNES cartridge's to play and they had stuck them in the dishwasher to wash them. The staff told him over the phone they were beyond repair and to use a SNES cleaning kit next time.

I believe the old NES cartridges said "Do not immerse in water."

Sometimes you get the opposite.

National Lampoon Magazine used to publish pictures of dumb things readers would take snapshots of and send in to them. One of them was of a picnic table in a city park with these words sternly stenciled upon its top surface: "NOT FOR USE AS A PICNIC TABLE".



WTF else would use a picnic table in city park for? Okay, maybe as a four sided park bench, but still... :lol:

Maybe it's one of those weird art installations, like when they put up a toilet with a sign saying "this is not a toilet".
