brutalizing metaphors

words to live by. . .

I bought a hairdryer today. As I was reading the instructions, one stuck out to me as especially prescient:

“7. Never use while sleeping.”

Kind of makes me wonder if this nugget of wisdom was more of a place holder or an actual response to a customer question or issue.

Folks really, I know that some of you are daredevils who like to live on the edge, but really do try to use your hairdryer when you are actually awake.

The person
in the picture looks like they might not have listened to #7.

This bit of advice applies to so many things! Always remember #7.

i'd want some details...
...before i agreed to anything so sweeping and draconian as "never use while sleeping". why not just build a hairdryer with a timer?
