Not so sure about that Leon... I suspect that the OP's post was very
mechanical.

When I was a kid and went to Mexico the border towns sold tourist
trinkets. The one I vividly remember was a brightly painted box that
had a button to press. When you pressed the button a door swung open
and a wooden snake with a sharp pin sticking out of it's mouth would
swing out and poke your finger. Naturally you let go of the button and
the snake and door retracted. No electronics, all mechanical.
Oh so inappropriate in this day.
