A doctor asks a nurse: “That little girl who swallowed ten quarters last night... how is she?”
The nurse replies: “No change yet.”

There are times I wish I could place emojis reactions on individual messages, 'cause there are so many knee-slappers here.

Something I saw on a microwave meal pack: Remove cardboard sleeve and heat in microwave for 4 minutes.

I showed that to my flatmate and said, "So I heat the cardboard. Now what?" He chuckled, and I went on, "At least I don't have to stand in boiling water for twenty minutes." More laughter ensued.


Spoiler: show
I was referencing a venerable joke about tinned beans or similar with the instructions on the label: Before opening tin, stand in boiling water for twenty minutes.

A long time ago on a forum for a site I barely remember, there was a thread about misprints and howlers, and the following discussion was sparked by a particular headline...

"Cat who found fish smuggling ring dies, will be honoured with memorial plague". It's bad enough that the cat died, now they're going to give him the plague.
How does this "memorial plague" work? Did the cat die of some disease with which other cats will be infected so that they can re-live his final moments? Or is it the perpetrators of the fish smuggling ring who will be infected with the plague? Or is it perhaps a biblical-style "plague of cats" in which vast numbers of cats will be released to overrun the local countryside? The mind boggles.
Just out of curiosity, what sort of ring was the fish smuggling, anyway? Did it have plans to branch out into bracelets and necklaces soon?
I think a memorial plague in this case would be a cat-ass-trophy.

For some reason a TV show I watched long ago came to mind; Father Dear Father, a British comedy about an author and his household. Occasionally the author would read out loud what he'd just written...

"Inspector Eaton picked up the revolver, tapped his nose thoughtfully, and put it in his pocket."

"Alan looked on as Emeralda struggled to open the packet of cigarettes, her proud breasts straining at the satin of her dress. She took one out and gave it to him."


Spoiler: show
I didn't remember the names, so I put in whatever came to mind.

Product warnings for the modern age

NOTICE: Due to its mass, this product warps space and time in its vicinity.
WARNING: This product attracts every other object in the universe, including the products of other manufacturers, with a force proportional to the product of the masses divided by the square of the distance between them.
CAUTION: The mass of this product contains the energy equivalent of 85 million tons of TNT per net ounce of weight. The manufacturer warrants that this product is to be used only as matter and will not be responsible for injury or damage if it is converted into energy.
HANDLE WITH CARE: This product contains minute electrically charged particles moving at velocities in excess of five hundred million miles per hour.
CONSUMER NOTICE: Due to the "Uncertainty Principle," it is impossible for the user to know precisely and simultaneously where this product is located and how fast it is moving.
ADVISORY: There is an extremely remote chance that, through a process known as "tunnelling," this product may spontaneously disappear from its present location and reappear at any other place in the universe, including your neighbour’s domicile. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or inconvenience that may result.
READ THIS BEFORE OPENING PACKAGE: According to certain suggested versions of the Grand Unified Theory, the primary particles constituting this product may decay to nothingness within the next four hundred million years.
THIS PRODUCT IS 100% MATTER: In the unlikely event that this merchandise should contact antimatter in any form, a catastrophic explosion will result. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for resulting injury or damages.
PUBLIC NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY LAW: Any use of this product, in any manner whatsoever, will increase the aggregate amount of disorder in the universe. Although no liability is assumed herein, the consumer is warned that this process will ultimately lead to a state of "Warm Death" of the universe.
NOTE: The most fundamental particles in this product are held together by a "Gluing" force about which little is currently known and whose adhesive power, therefore, can not be guaranteed indefinitely. No responsibility is therefore assumed for the structural integrity of this product.
ATTENTION: Notwithstanding any listing of product contents found hereupon, the consumer is advised that this product actually consists of 99.9999999999% empty space.
NEW GRAND UNIFIED THEORY DISCLAIMER: While the manufacturer is technically entitled to claim that this product Is ten-dimensional, the consumer is reminded that this confers no legal rights above and beyond those applicable to three-dimensional objects, since the seven new dimensions are "rolled up" into such a small "area" that they cannot be Detected.
PLEASE NOTE: Some quantum physics theories suggest that, when unobserved, this product may cease to exist or may exist only in a vague and undetermined state. Therefore all warranties are in effect only while this product is under the direct observation of a human being.
COMPONENT EQUIVALENCY NOTICE: The subatomic particles (electrons, protons, etc.) comprising this product are exactly the same in every measurable respect as those used in the products of other manufacturers, and competitors' claims to the contrary are neither justified nor legitimate.
HEALTH WARNING: Care should be taken when lifting this product, since its mass, and thus its weight, is dependent on its velocity relative to the user. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for injury or damage resulting from relativistic mass increase.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PURCHASERS: The entire physical universe, including this product, may one day collapse back into an infinitesimally small space. Should another universe subsequently re-emerge, the existence of this product in that universe, and its performance and suitability for any purpose, cannot be guaranteed.
