"No, you weren't supposed to press that button! You weren't supposed to even be near it!" *frantically presses other buttons* "What on God's green earth possessed you to press it?!"
"It was an accident!"...................... "What happens now?"
"Well, for starters, I get to call the President and tell him that this was all just a false alarm. Then I get to silently and respectfully listen to him chew me out for being reckless. Then I'll do the same while he threatens to shoot me or have me incarcerated if it happens again. Heaven forbid I tell him it was you who pressed the button and not me."
"Why can't you tell him it was me?"
"Because, oh dearest friend, you're supposed to be dead. Dead men don't press buttons that start nuclear wars."
"Oh."
