This poll reminds me of "Don't try this at home".

I can think of a few others:

Just run this SQL on the live database
Shut down and restart - everything will be fine
apt-get upgrade
we can always restore from the backup

Or from history:

Charge! (Charge of the Light Brigade)
Captain, the swimming pool seems to be leaking. (Titanic)
That was a test run? (Chernobyl)
