| I've just been photocopying some stuff and I noticed there is a, um, notice on the photocopier saying "please do not press the button under the black and yellow tape". I can't see any black and yellow tape, let alone some with a button underneath it. And so commences a five minute search for the tape and button.
People should learn not to put up tantilising notices like this -- like Chief Wiggam's "Forbidden Closet of Mystery" -- it only encourages people of a geek-like persuasion, and/or anyone with a smidgen of curosity in their body, to look and do whatever was forbidden in the first place.
The answer to your un-asked question: I don't know what the button under the black and yellow tape does because I still couldn't find it (hence further emphasising the ridiculousness of the notice in the first place). I'll have to find some other stuff to photocopy tomorrow so the hunt can continue.... |
