You poke something. Why?
I like to touch things.
I wanted it to come alive.
I’m good at poking things.
It fascinated me.
It was an accident.
It was the button to launch a nuclear missile.
My hand is robotic and I lost the remote.
The sign said, “Do Not Touch.”
To announce that I was here by leaving my fingerprint.
To drive the person next to me crazy.
To make a hole in it.
You told me to.
*poke*

Wouldn't that depend on what's doing the poking..and what's being poked? :wink:Originally Posted by Director Abbie
Poking to get someone's attention.
Poking as a playful way to say Hi.
Poking to let someone know that I'm available if they have the time/inclination.
Poking someone to try to hear them giggle.
Poking someone to try to get them to squirm.
Poking someone to try to get them to scream (or groan).
Poking someone to..uh...help them feel..uh...good.
Poking someone to..uh...help me..uh...feel good.
Oh, and being poked cuz the seats are really close together and I'm on the side that they eat with and they keep extending their elbows when they put food to their mouths.
And of course the poking by accident (mistiming of positions and movement).

You poke something, not someone.
lol, my first inclination is to poke arms, legs, backs, bellies, butts, and mm-hmm-hmms.
as for non-people oriented somethings...
I'd say it depended on what it was, and how much I knew about it at the moment.
So my answer would be "to get more information about it"...which isn't an option on the list.

That would be, "It fascinated me."
If I poked something, it was because it was an accident.

I guess I don't tend to describe things as fascinating me unless I'm focusing on it exclusively (more or less)...which rarely happens. But for the purposes of your survey, I guess you can mentally add one to that answer.

oh, I voted that I wanted it to come alive. I was thinking about poking a person though. I do sometimes poke people when I'm trying to emphasize something I'm saying and cajole a reaction out of them. but only if we're close friends. normally I don't touch people.

you should add "to get your attention"

You are poking an object, not a person. Do you get someone's attention by poking the sandwich they're eating?
If someone poked my sandwich, I'd be pretty weirded out - I'd say that would get my attention in a heartbeat.
Also, I put "you told me to." I can't imagine why I'd... erm... just randomly poke something.
I poke the keys on my keyboard quite often.
"Button to launch a nuclear missile" is closest, so I'm voting that.

How a person responds to physical touch is my best way of gauging how comfortable they are around me.
My hand is robotic and I lost the remote/I'm good at poking things/I wanted it to come alive.
It was an accident. I didn't mean to, I promise!

To make sure it is dead. Always.
*imagines Absurd poking a dead bird, which then suddenly jumps up, bares its teeth, and gives Absurd rabies*
When I am around someone I am comfortable with and I know I can be playful, and they are ignoring me, I will tap both of their shoulders with my index fingers and say their name repeatedly until they acknowledge me. It's fun to do to someone if they are focused on something like a computer game.
Reminds me, I used to live with someone I typed ISTp and for entertainment I would go into his room, make noises that sounded like I was retarded and then shake his chair and scream "Earthquake!" It's funny, he would just sit there like nothing was happening, and sometimes I would get a muttered "You are so dumb." LOL
"I want that one"
Hmm. You keep what you kill.
