But can't you see the irony of it all....sleeping pill packets have Caution May Cause Drowsiness - you don't say....

Tixylix - the childrens medicine made me laugh too...one of the first contra-indications was....do not use on children over 10....the last one said....do not drive as this mixture may cause drowsiness....


How many 9 year olds can drive??????

I just got bored one day and thought about some of the questions I tease my 5 & 3 year old with such as:

Things like...

What is the speed of dark?
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
Who put the 's' in lisp?
How many dots are there in a bottle of ink?
Why aren't all rooms room temperature?
If vegetable oil comes from vegetables, where does baby oil originate?
Why do your feet smell and your nose run?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
If an orange is orange, why isn't a lemon a yellow?

Then just wandered if there were any more out there?

IRONY - I found also on a bottle of my 3 year olds medicine....."not to be used over age 10"....then further down the bottle instructions it said...."do not use medicine if driving"

For me, I wondered when it became legal in the UK to drive under 10?

I find a fair chunk of dbd's advice useful, though others sometimes see it as if it's posted by him, then it's obviously wrong or a wind-up.
