Take a look at some of the questions and comments about products on Amazon. They're usually good for a laugh.

"Is this hat able to be worn anywhere other than your head? I have recently seen hat instructions that preclude you from wearing elsewhere."

I wonder if that guy was serious. Maybe he read ridiculous warnings like for scissors, "NOT TO BE TAKEN INTERNALLY."

One of my favorites is the Sigma 200-500 f2.8 lens with wonderful reviews on Amazon...though it seems they have taken down many of the funniest - perhaps someone reported the pranksters?

Yes jerry, I scratch my head at some of the comments left by customers on Amazon. It beggars belief that people write such nonsense like the ones you highlighted.

I saw a question on earBUDS asking if they're for in or over the ear. Yes, some of these question are for real.

I hate it when people give an item just one star because it's the wrong color, or the item was damaged in shipping - something unrelated to the product itself.

Or they bought a Canon lens that wouldn't fit on their Nikon.

There used to be a product called bone phones that fit over the bone behind your ears. They worked pretty good.

I knew a n ... exotic fancer... who used a hat.
Even with her youth and firmness it was still surprising to see that hat stay on like that- no hands!

I depend on words much more than score - why or why not did they like or not like it. Their very reason for not liking it may be the reason it would be good for me or their reason or liking it may be totally irrelevant to me.
