Why can't I push the button?

Reminds me of a great Challenger joke:

What was the last thing Christa McAuliffe said?

"What does this button do?"

Doooooo it. Push it! You must! For thou art Bad Monkey! If you don't push it you'll have to be called Good Monkey, and no one wants that.

I have this feeling that Bad Monkey and I are thinking the exact same thing....and would do the same thing!

"It's the history-eraser button, you fool!"

"But what'll happen?"

"Maybe something bad. Maybe something good. I guess we'll never know, because you're going to guard it. You won't touch it will you?"

Ok - I'll admit it... I'm a "do-not-push-this-button--button-pusher" kind o' guy.

I just want to know how many people actually end up trying to push that button.

P.S. I did! :D

But...but...but...
The button is RED. And it's ROUND. And it's STARING AT ME. It WANTS ME TO PUSH IT.

Ouch, this is causing me physical pain, this not pushing the button.

Bad boys (err, ahh, I mean monkeys) always push the button....after contemplating, considering, and a scratch of the head. Oh, and by the way, don't smoke weed, drink, go to bed late, skip school, eat junk food, or hang around bad monkeys either. Don't do it!

what a tease not making it pushable.

I feel for the monkey, but I don't think I would push it. I don't even think I'd be tested.
This thing is like a Rorshach test. Rorshach button. Rorshach blog.

Tempted. I meant to say tempted. Not tested. Dammit! I am three sips into my first cup of coffee.

Ok.

I pushed it and the power went off in my apartment for a few seconds. Please disable this ability going forward.

Hey, they wouldn't have made it big and red if they didn't want it to be fondled.

This was a test. If the sign said, "Press this button" Bad Monkey (BM) wouldn't press it. As it is, BM wants to press it because he is told not to. All because he is a BM...
Methinks I'll wear my BM T-shirt today. All because my wife wouldn't want me to wear it.

is the button "luck"? Because you're pushing it now.

Posted by Wayne on August 04, 2007 | Reply

That button should have a link attached to it. You know we pushed it.

And whatever you do... don't think about pink elephants while you're deciding. Totally screws the whole thing up!

Posted by Rick on August 04, 2007 | Reply

What!? The %*(@#^( thing isn't pushable? *Sigh* I right clicked anyway. Hey I learned from Adam never click link without checking it out first. Could be donkey porn ya know.

Oh man, you know I had the same reaction as everyone else.

Funny how a simple picture gets more comments than some of your recent full-length posts =)

That's the power of curiosity for you..

So, is this going to be one of those multiple-drawings-over-several-days posts or are you just winding up all of your readers? 'Cause you know we're all the type to push the button, otherwise we wouldn't be here reading you, would we?

I was hoping that when I clicked on the red button, my desktop PC would turn into a Mac laptop. You never know. You are pretty good at those drawings.

I hope your important decision ends up working out for you.

So did you? Er... monkey?

Posted by kapgar on August 05, 2007 | Reply

I feel so totally stupid now. It never occured to me to try to push the button. I may have missed out on something good.
Can people do exercises to exercise and improve their curiosity?

Are you a Terry Pratchett fan? :) This little toon reminds me of the wizards of Ankh-Morpork.

I pushed the button and my bra came undone. What the hey?
