Just some little thoughts...
A Spelling Lesson...
If GH stands for P as in Hiccough
If OUGH stands for O as in Dough
If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis
If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour
If TTE stands for T as in Gazette jgs
If EAU stands for O as in Plateau
The right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU
If “GH” stands for “F” as in Rough
If “O” stands for “I” as in Women
If “TION” stands for “SH” as in Solution
: The right way to spell “FISH” should be “GHOTION”
If “TION” stands for “SHUN”, so “GHOTION” spells “FISHIN'”,
(Nope, I don’t know the answer to this, before anyone asks…)
Below are ten statements concerning X, a whole number between 1 and 10 (inclusive). Not all of the statements are true, but not all of them are false either. What number is X?
1. X equals the sum of the statement numbers of the false statements in this list.
2. X is less than the number of false statements in this list, and statement 10 is true.
3. There are exactly three true statements in this list, or statement 1is false, but not both.
4. The previous three statements are all false, or statement 9 is true, or both.
5. Either X is odd, or statement 7 is true, but not both.
6. Exactly two of the odd-numbered statements are false.
7. X is the number of a true statement.
8. The even-numbered statements are either all true or all false.
9. X equals three times the statement number of the first true statement in this list, or statement 4 is false, or both.
10. X is even, or statement 6 is true, or both.
And these are just for fun.
On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary, details inside."
(The shoplifter special!)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(And that would be... how?)
On some Swann frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(But it's just a suggestion.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: "Do not turn upside down" (printed on BOTTOM of the box)
(Too late! You lose! I love it: food to PO you.)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(Ya think? Let's experiment.)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
(But wouldn't that save more time? Whose body?)
On Boot's Children's cough medicine: "Do not drive car or operate machinery."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol sleep aid: "May cause drowsiness."
(Do I even need to comment?)
On a Korean kitchen knife: "Warning: keep out of children."
(Or pets! What's for dinner? Yes, I typed that properly. Not "keep out of reach of children," but "keep out of children.")

(As opposed to use in outer space. Or underground?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."
(Hmm...)

(Not to mention the nut who wrote the warning.)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(DDDUUUHH)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(I so don't want to know.)
