Popular answers include "[[Idiot Ball|I wasn't]]!", "I don't know!", "[[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time]]!", and "[[I Did What I Had to Do]]." If someone answers "[[For Science]]!" it's a good bet that he's a lost cause.
Can follow a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] for a [[Kick the Dog]] moment. A [[Deal With the Devil]] is almost always followed by this, [[Viewer Stock Phrases|if only from the audience]]. Not to be confused with [[What the Hell, Hero?]], which has less to do with recklessness and more to do with [[Kick the Dog|kicking]] or [[Shoot the Dog|shooting the dog]], though it can overlap.
▲Compare [[What an Idiot]] and [[What the Hell Hero]].
