Apparently this is a real-life incident, as told by the buddy of a regular reader of Joke Mail.
There was to be a massive fire-fighting exercise at the naval base camp. Everyone was to treat the drill like a real fire situation.
Soon the alarm went off and soldiers were seen running in every direction. The captain of a team ordered 3 men to run off to the engine house to turn off the gas supply. Being fresh recruits, they said that they may not know how to operate the switch.
"JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BUTTON DAMMIT! HOW WRONG CAN YOU GET?! THERE'S ONLY A ONE-CLICK BUTTON IN THE DAMN BOX DAMNIT!" the captain yelled as they scurried off to find the gas supply room.
After 5 mins of searching, they found the gas room with a single switch box right at the end of the room.
They opened the box and stared at each other in shock. As the captain had said, there was really only a single red button with the instructions on it. After much deliberation, they had no choice but to follow the instructions and flee the place.
No one said anything until later that afternoon when they found out from the older guys that the letter "C" had actually fallen off.
With thanks to /77!cH3//3 for this one

i dont get it. can someone explain?
If you remove the "C" from "Click Button" what does it say?
I didn't get it either. CON, COFF came to mind. ONC? Thank goodness it was just a drill.
We are so programmed by the time we are young adults to just follow orders.
hahaha.. i guess it wasn't so straightforward after all..
jokemail.. did u get it the 1st time u read it?
I did. But then I'm a bit weirdy anyway.
I got it too. Thought it was really funny!
Must be something wrong with me. Haha
When I read it through first I did have to glance back up the page to check what the instruction had been, but I understood it, which is why I put it up.
Hopefully today's post (Tuesday) is a bit more obvious.
