No Shit, Sherlock

A drug rep brought my staff a jar of mixed nuts today.

On the label, I swear, it says:

"Allergy information: This product is packaged in a facility that handles nuts."

  1. No shit, Sherlock.

    That was another of my dad's favorite goofy sayings. I haven't heard it in years. Thanks for the happy memory.

    I still love your blog.

  2. Maybe the company supports a special program for those with mental instability. Although this seems very insensitive to me to call us "nuts" and I don't know anyone who would be allergic to us.

  3. LOL.....I was laughing when I saw "no shit, sherlock" appear in my reader!!!

    BTW, my super-cool At Work Friend is totally hooked on your blog. We have a "did you read Dr. Grumpy yet?" discussion every day at work.

  5. Ha! I just happened to have a can of "party peanuts" on my desk, and the warning on it says: "Warning: This product may contain peanuts."

    My favorite part in that is the MAY CONTAIN... I am afraid of what it might otherwise contain, if it is not peanuts....

  6. You would have loved the sign I saw the other day in the store. "Do not play with the balls." Here's the thing...I was in a grocery store.

  7. Dr. Grumpy: No Shit, Sherlock is one of my favorite sayings, and I too have discussed you at work. We encounter stupidity every day and I don't know why I am still surprised about the stupidity of people.

  10. I've got something in the kitchen that informs me that it may contain nuts, milk powder and soya plus several other things - I'm glad about that because that's precisely why I bought it!

  11. No shit Sherlock is my second favorite to: I shit you not.

    Shit was the first curse word I said in front of my mom. It slipped and we just looked at each other across the room....and she said "your lucky you can run faster than me now". I was 23 years old and a mother myself at the time. =0 I shit you not.

  12. And all this came abotu after crazy old lady sued McD's because the hot coffee burned her and no one told her it was hot...and won -remember that?

    Since then ANYTHING that can injure or kill you, even if super duper obvious, gets a label.

  14. written by the same brain trust that warns us NOT to use the hair dryer in the shower, or the warning on my knife sheath that knives are sharp.

  15. One of the hospitals I work in has a corridor connecting the Paeds ward from the Psych ward. As you enter the Paeds ward there is a sign saying "This is a nut free area". Always makes me laugh

  16. Wouldn't mixed nuts be more suitable for a psychiatriast's office?

  17. My roommate bought a jar of organic raw peanut butter. Ingredients: peanuts. *Warning: contains peanuts* It makes a person wonder.
