What does Sit Down Mean to me?
(to the tune of "it's a small world")
Get your ass into a seat
Get your ass into a seat
Get your ass into a seat
Sit your butt, down, NOW!

Anyone wanna translate that into French, Japanese, Spanish, and Portugese?

Seriously I hate when people decide to stand waiting on the lift or ready belts at small world. You ain't getting off yet, your not that lucky! Plus your delaying everyone else in your boat from leaving as quickly.

Shoot, Polar, if you're having to say those things, I wouldn't worry about possibly insulting their mothers. :)

I just want to plug Wombat's blog. It was worth a chuckle.... although I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to rid my mind of the picture that flashed when I read about him having weaned his iguana. :oweye:

yippyskippy: When I interned at AES/QA, we called that the 'No disco dancing' sign.

1. It
2. Only
3. LOOKS
4. Like
5. A
6. Toy.
7. It
8. WILL
9. Kill
10. You.

I used to use that line at the Snow White ride all the time, then I heard that management told Ops they can't make the Guests think for themselves any more.

influx of new safari drivers on this site.

as much fun as it may be to slam on the brakes for guests that are standing (been there, done that), keep in mind that managers can and do sneak onto trucks. A well-timed brake slam could be interpreted as a safety problem ...

Ass has three common English meanings:
A donkey as in equine horse like animal.
the area between the waist and the thighs
A CUSTOMER OR GUEST :rolleyes:

You used donkey to get asno which is also called in Los Angeles area un burro. You probably have them wondering why you want them to put their donkey in a seat. Like we not longer use burros but use BMWs.

Safari- been there done that :) But I have to say that regardless guests have no clue. Come on what is the average number of jumpers on Ripsaw Falls at IOA each day or even on rides with lap bars. Sitting is not in their vocabulary. Smart people like us realize that sitting is an intelligent thing, but hey what can you do? Stupid people are facts of life. Stupid people pay my bills. So I just smile and nod and call them all retarded jackasses under my breath. (Just Kidding :) Maybe- ish) :duh:
