I can remember when I first noticed how many web interactions involved clicking a “submit” button, and joking about how I don’t want my computer to be my dominatrix. This was at least ten years ago, and since then it seems most website designers have come up with more human-friendly terms (observe that the button here on GC reads “Comment,” not “Submit”; the buttons on Amazon, etc., also seem to have removed the “S-word” in favor of things like “Place Order” or “Buy Now”).
I get the feeling Batty first noticed the use of “Submit” on websites about the time I did, filed it away for a future “joke,” and failed to notice the times have changed.

I knew a woman who had a submission problem. No matter how much I pleaded she wouldn’t submit. ;-)

Ed should be more worried about the waitress’s long hair that is in his coffee.

“And when I write a joke, I always forget to include that last little thing… what’s it called? Oh yeah, a ‘punch line’!”

It’s funny because he keeps forgetting to click the last button that refills his prescriptions for blood pressure and cholesterol meds.

Two things worry these men.
The first is loss of memory, and they forget what the other one is.
