I just barely had the urge to read the back of our multi-purpose cleaner. It has a little section where they talk about all the wonderful things you can do with it and under that are the directions...
USAGE DIRECTIONS: Turn spray nozzle to ON position. Simply spray and wipe with a soft cloth or paper towel until surface is clean. No rinsing necessary. Use to clean surfaces such as wood, laminate, electronics, chrome, glass, mirrors and metal. If using on electronic equipment, spray product directly onto cloth and follow manufacturer instructions. Before using on an unknown surface, test on an inconspicuous area. For higher shine on your wood, please use ****** Furniture Polish. (brand name blotted out to protect the innocent) Not suitable for unsealed wood, marble or granite. Do not use with other household cleaners. Note: Unplug electrical appliances before using.I laughed out loud when I read this!!! If I had someone else in the room besides a two year old I probably would have ended up laughing harder and longer.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
Did you catch it? No probably not. Especially if you weren't raised in my household where phrases like "Shake before using", "Automatic Caution Door", and "To avoid suffocation keep away from children" cause chuckling. I'll give you a hint with this one that I found today. It is the last sentence in the italicized part. The note section. (though it is italicized, I didn't do that to make it stand out. They did. The only part in the quote that I added was the part in the parenthesis.)
Did you see it that time? If not, don't feel bad, just ask and I'll try to explain it. Or just mill the sentence in your head for a bit, and maybe you'll catch on. It might help to see where the humor is in the other phrases that I mentioned.
