    Wouldn't that depend on what's doing the poking..and what's being poked? :wink:

    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).

    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.

    after i voted, it put my answer in italics which made it seem sort of creepy.

    I like to touch things.

    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.

    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.
