It was from the twilight zone, what a pure classic gem that show is.thaluikhain said:Actually, I remember hearing about a TV show episode along those lines, and thought that would be what this was about.BathorysGraveland2 said:No, not my family.

A guy gets offered a button to press, if he presses it he gets the money, and someone he doesn't know dies. He thinks it over and decides to press it. After he does, he asks where the people will go next, and they say "To someone who doesn't know you".
(Or maybe it was the whole family, not just one person)

You literally stole the words from me.Queen Michael said:I wouldn't. Not unless they could guarantee that it was my dad who'd die.

In that case.. wouldn't YOU be the only one in your immediate family?Cecilo said:So. Seeing as I am the last one alive in my family, would pressing it mean I get killed, or I cheated the rules and no one died?
