if a random stranger left a box on your doorstep and gave you an ultimatum….wot you do….
ps : theres more to this than meets the eye…. 😉

What’s the ultimatum then?

what was the ultimatum?

explain further please?

What ultimatum?

LOL at +3

That’s the context of a film, isn’t it? Can’t remember what it’s called though.

I’d call the A team.

I’d say ‘Oi! Come back here and take yer toot with you, bloody litterbug!’. I’d boot the box into the street after them.

I accept this may not be the right answer in this particular context….

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team

Yes, will the person grow wings? Or get the power of foresight?

ah , r u recieving listen to me carefully then
if you push the button -you will recieve 1 million dollars (hypothetically),but something wierd will happen to someone you’ve never met dont even know, ….if you push the button…-
just hypothetically of course …if you dont..you wont get the money
wud you do it yes or no….

A-team? They’ll be no good.

Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer

That Schrodinger been molesting the local moggies again?

something wierd will happen to someone you’ve never met

I suspect you may have to expand on this point somewhat.

Will they grow an extra leg?
Run out of jam unexpectedly?
Become a priest?
Smell of chutney?

More info please.

Oi, leave me out of it, I can get into enough trouble on my own ta very much 🙂

I’d push it.
Having someone offer a million pounds if I push a button is a weird thing to happen to someone, so I’d assume a similar weird thing would happen to someone else if i pushed it. I don’t think the weird thing would be nasty, or more accurately if it was nasty then the sort of person who would do such a thing would carry on doing nasty things irrespective of if I pushed a button.

no expanding….wud you push the button for 1 million dollars and suffer the consequences that may/ maynot happen … 😉

Would Cameron Diaz be my wife?
I’d hypothetically leave the hypothetical box on the doorstep and get hypothetical with her all night long!

no expanding

no interest…

then sorry Ian you now have the grim reaper following you…do watch out behind you and he will always be hanging around pushing you to do certain things you wouldnt normally do…. 😉

Where’s my million dollars?

hypothetically on its way Ian……. dont blame me if strange things s :wink:tart to happen…hypothetically of course…

What happens if everyone has a box and everyone presses the button?

it wud only carry on if you push the button- it was your choice to push it.. you dint have to…..
so hypothetically if it all started going wrong for you and strange stuff kept happening …wud you persue the person who gave you the box

everyone doesnt get a box, just chosen people

So, got a list of ‘chosen ones’?

I’m the chosen one!!!
Kneel before me.

No your not, you’re a very naughty boy!

Yes, that was very bad paraphrasing of the Pythons. Sorry

Button Button

What happens if you pushed the button before the explanation about what would happen was done.

And more specifically do you still get the moolar?

I’m the chosen one!!!
Kneel before me.

Show us the only True Path! Tell us what we must do, Oh Chosen Thing! 🙂

aw now you spoilt it mrs toast..i was going to have a long list of things to say…bah humbug…..lol just watched the film tonite, kind of crazy film, abit like an Ethan Gaunt type person

Hmmm, ‘something wierd will happen’…. not quite the same as ‘someone will die’.

Poor.

What happens if everyone has a box

You hope and pray Stephen hawkins has the one for you!

well i changed the context abit dint i just to be on the safe side….lol
i never want to see a red button agin ever ! i wud never push it anyway, im not daring enuff that way…

A song I was singing came on the radio today. Weird.
Who pushed my button, and what did you do with the million? Papa needs a new pair of everything…

ah , r u recieving listen to me carefully then

Can I press it more than once? Does it auto-repeat if I hold it down?
