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.

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