I found this on Bored.com:

In a non-smoking area: If we see smoke, we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.

I laughed when I saw this!! This should be a REAL sign at Disneyland. Thaink about it..................
I saw this post and thought I had to incorporate it into my spiel.

So, I did and you find out real quick which guests are listening. The ones rolling on the floor heard me and listened, the ones with the "deer in the headlights" look wern't listening.

I also now add in the fact that your small children are personel belongings and if accidently left behind can be reclaimed at "It's A Small World"

HA HA HA!! That is EXACTLY what I put in my HISTA spiel. "To take all personal belongings with you, including hats, bags, glasses, and your young children. Any young children left behind, will be taken to 'It's A Small World' with their feet glued to the floor and sing that hideous, hideous song." At that point, a guest got offended, hehehe!!

One lead even said this: "All children left behind will be the property of the Walk Disney Company and place at 'It's A Small World' where they will be until they are 18 and be given one of these" then pointing to a Disney name tag, lol!

A friend of mine uses this line in his spiel, then deadpans, "Don't laugh. I was the hula-dancing girl there for ten years. Thanks, mom and dad."

Given that people don't read signs anyways, I fail to see how adding additional signs could possibly be beneficial.

For example, in the photograph below is depicted one of the signs marking the entrance of an attraction. Note the presence of (life-size) humans beneath the sign. Numerous times today, while standing less than 20 feet away from said sign, I was asked questions like "Where are we?" or "Where is the car stunt show?" or "Is this a show or a ride?" (note also the presence of the vehicles out front, as well as the sign-mounted verbiage stating "extreme stunt show")

Brawny the quicker-picker-upper!
They use it in the new bathroom's paper towel dispenser. :p:

Yep. Nothing can help those SG's. not even a sign with letters bigger than them. Biggest example: DCA.

That, and I bet there's some residue from that flaming fuel that the motorcyclist skids through. I can just picture a crew of CMs, each with their own roll of Brawny, blotting up every square inch of the stage. I'm almost surprised Disney hasn't added it into the show as product placement. :rolleyes:
