This is another board I have mentioned here. Probably has some SG's but they don't come out of the woodwork as such all that often. I responded in that thread with my alternate (original) moniker, not tough to figure out who I am there. But I want to give more of a story to my post, so you can just disregard it there. However, the first post is awesome, the second post by the owner of the site tells me he would probably like it here. The third post is mine, so you can skip it, or read my stuff here before you read anything I say there.
Today, I was working Check-In (that's FastPass return for those of you who don't work KSR) and a girl and her boyfriend came walking up, having returned from the safari. She came up with a question:
Her: Are all the animals on the Safari real?
Me: Of course. This isn't the Jungle Cruise, we deal in all real animals.
Her: (Turns to boyfriend) See, I told you!
Him: You know, here at Disney World they have to keep the storyline, so he may not be telling you the truth.
Me: Sure, there's a storyline we have to keep, but it's the truth that all the animals are real.
Him: Yeah, right.
Her: Why won't you believe the guy?
Him: I just don't think they're all real.
Me: I can fully assure you all the animals are real.
Him: No way, dude, they can't all be real.
Me: Well, which animals are you wondering about?
At this point, I'm thinking he'll answer that it's the crocs or something. If he says the crocs, I have an easy answer for him, so I'm getting it ready in my mind. His answer actually managed to surprise me.
Him: Those giraffes looked fake. All they did was walk in circles.
Me: Uh, well, I guess I am probably not going to convince you they are real. But seeing them repeatedly myself, I am convinced that they are fully alive.
I guess I didn't give a very good answer. I have a whole conversation playing in the hindsight of my mind that would have been fun (for me).
As they walked away, I was thinking to myself how she was really cute and could probably find a boyfriend with at least three quarters of a brain.
Ah, well. I figure it was better to just let him do his thing.
