So yeah, that lever that says “OPEN” in big, bold, red letters? Don’t pull that!

But it says open! You cant just not open it! It’s like putting a shiny red button in front of me and telling me to not push it.

Didn't Douglas Adams write a bit around that in one of his books? It says, "Warning: Do not look into laser with remaining eyeball," or something to that effect?

I think that joke's been around for a while, but there is the Terry Pratchett line about how if you had a button with a sign next to it saying "pressing this button will end the world, do not touch," the ink wouldn't even have time to dry.

A jolly, CANDY-like button!

Jesus Christ. That's how you go through life, isn't it?
