Yesterday lunchtime I was sitting idly at the kitchen table waiting for the vegetables to finish steaming (carrots and cabbage, to go with the leftover braised steak and sausage with onion from the night before, if you must know) when I was struck by the label of this nasal spray:
I tried to imagine being an alien who had to interpret this message for her people:

For those who have no mouth. That would be the space under the nose–where the finger is pointing.
Shake this item.
Spray into eye. (Note, mouth will still be missing.) Or maybe it means, Look for a ! symbol on the paper folded like origami in the box and hope there's a picture there to explain what you need to do next.
Apparently there are whole websites devoted to this stuff. Who knew?
Oh my god. Those are hysterical!
