Friday Funnies - oxymoronic labeling



Seen in a clearance store:

Ancient Formula
------------------
Computer Stress Relief Herbal Tea

What the label intended to communicate was that this new blend of tea,
designed to remedy eye strain and other ailments associated with computer
use, was based on ancient medicinal uses of herbal teas.

Best wishes,
