A cabby picks up an obvious drunk. About five minutes into the ride the drunk asks, "Have you got room in the front seat for a large pizza and a six-pack?"

The driver replies, "Yeah, why?"

RRRRAAAAAALLPPHHHHHH!!!

Thanks bpgstudios and other CMs who responded. I know the answer but like in parks people will not believe you even if you know the facts.

I worked in kennels and can tell you that getting something to go in a drain hole is not always that easy. In fact I could swear that there is some freaky law of nature that make stuff go everywhere but the drain.

So which way do things go in Hawaii? Up?


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

It depends on if we have trade or Kona winds.

BPG ... not sure how things are run in your part of the Kingdom, but in my area, the attractions coordinators are required to take the Custodial Core class (including BBP training), just for situations like this. I'll usually wait 15 minutes, then try to direct connect the custodial manager for our area, asking if someone is on the way, or if I'm going to have to clean it myself. Usually someone gets there fairly quickly after that, but I've had to clean a few spills.

No that is definitely not normal. :mad: I did custodial for the summer this summer, and always had a radio with me. Plus, I tried to do a trash run every 40 minutes or so. That is not acceptable.

Out here on the left coast, only Leads, Esplanade, and Parking Structure get radios in Disneyland. Not sure about DCA.

It does seem like everyone at WDW has a radio (Nextel) except bus drivers. We do have one but it's nailed to the bus and useless if we had to evacuate the bus prior to being able to call for help.

I do know that most if not all custodial CM's carry one.

I guess it would be a little difficult to call and tell someone that your bus is on fire, eh?
