The Undo Button

Forget the deep, thoughtful drivel I've been spewing of late. Today, I just want to make someone laugh. I think this honest (and slightly unnerving, if you ask me) post may do just that.

So, some friends of mine and I were sitting at a coffee shop the other day. We were chatting, catching up on some things, you know the drill. And it occurred to me that we needed an incredibly random concept to converse about, just to shake up a talk that was mostly comprised of school-related news. So I took a bit of a leap, socially speaking, and blurted: "Hey, if you had a giant undo button that you could use only once, what would you do?"

Even I don't know why or how my brain functions the way it does. And it's my brain.

Anyway, after a brief moment of further explaining what I mean by the rather abstract idea, I offered an example to my comrades. To summarize, it included running up to random people and assailing them with psychotic gestures and facial expressions, letting loose a barrage of irrelevant and meaningless phrases to frighten them further, and then stealing a shoe as I flee before they manage to react properly.

Now, you can imagine the incredulous looks on their faces. Man, sometimes I wonder how my friends keep up with my thought processes.

Moving on.

Being the person I am, I've been completely infatuated with my own proposed question since then. And I've been coming up with some, if you ask me, awesome ideas.

One. Jump on top of some cars as they sit at a red light and refuse to get off, even when the drivers jump out and threaten to inflict bodily harm upon me. (Side note: if/when the drivers actually move to inflict said harm, flee before damage is inflicted. Aka pain is bad.)

Two. Scale the roofs of various short-ish buildings and cause a public disturbance by dancing on said roofs.

Three. When law enforcement arrives on scene to remove me from the premises, act as crazy and unruly as possible while being restrained. (I'll only get to do this once. Better make it count.) Then escape.

Four. Find every person I've never liked and make them legitimately frightened for their own safety, without laying a finger on them.

Five. Find the undo button and use it before the real consequences set in.

Let's just hope that, for my own sake and that of the public, this wondrous button never comes into existence.

So, how about you? Yes, you. What would you do if you had an undo button?


Develop your plan. It's more entertaining than I care to admit.
