I don't know, I just love these! There were pictures of the products on the webpage, too, but I thought it'd take too long to load...

lol...i can relate to this one...

The liturgical ministers and choir were having dinner between Masses at our college campus ministry and we were having spagetti for dinner. The cleaning man had been cleaning the kitchen earlier in the day and accidentaly left out the can of comit on the table. Well, comet looks strikingly similar to kraft parmesean coagulated milk. Without paying attention, one of the guys grabbed the Comet and put it on his spagetti thinking it was coagulated milk. Luckily he noticed once he put it on that the coagulated milk looked awfully blue and realized what it was. We all still laugh about it...so at least I can see where they're coming from on that one....but then again, what looks like dishwashing soap????

[color=red]sad thing is that the reason they on there is because ppl have actually done them. in the RV manuals there is a Warning next to the cruse control that says and this is verbatum! "RV does not Drive itself so you must not leave the driver's seat"the reason for this is because someone actually left his seat to use the bathroom thinking it was auto piolet

sad huh :P[/color]
