The irrational suspicion held by every human that tells us we cannot hit a
crosswalk button just once. Our intuition tells us that, if we only hit
the button one time, the electronic signal will not be sent sufficiently to the traffic light. Therefore, every pedestrian makes a fist and hits the button -- rapid-fire style -- until
lactic acid causes our triceps to cramp up and shut down.
Dan: Hey ‘Weed – you’re not playin’
Galaga. Hit
the button a few times and then
stand down.
Tim: Sorry, ‘Skinner. I’ve got major crosswalk distrust…and I don’t wanna miss my waxing appointment.
