U.K. Amusement Park Regulates Stinky Arm Pits

I was poking around for something to write an article about today and came up with this: http://bit.ly/AaeSv

Basically, Brits with B.O. have to keep their arms down at Thorpe Park in the U.K. (actually, EVERYONE has to keep their arms down when the temp. is above a certain level just in case their deodorant has failed). I'm trying to imagine a rule like that in FL; little "handcuffs" would have to be installed in the ride vehicles to enforce it.

I had to chuckle when I opened the article and there was a picture of you in your byline, both arms raised high! :D:
Must not have been too warm that day. ;)

Nah, I was waiting for a parade and wanted to scare those damn pesky tourists away with my pungent odor (combining no deodorant with eating whole garlic cloves for lunch works wonders...dunno why so many people claim it's hard to get a good parade spot.

Of course the guy riding the Hollywood Rocket seems to have a 'stink fest' going on. :rolleyes:

Don't worry, that's Mr. Syndrome and I can assure you he showers regularly and applies deodorant quite liberally. We both do, as we both ride that ride with our arms high in the air trying to take advantage of the awesome airtime in row 6. We'd be banned from the park by now if the Rockit was at Thorpe Park.

My apologies to Mr Sydrome. :( I didn't reconize you with your sunglasses on. :rolleyes:

No apology necessary. After all, stinky or not, he'd still be a rule-breaker in the U.K. I can just see him getting trespassed from the park for refusing to ride with his pits properly protected.

You know, they could try selling those five-day deodorant pads--make a bit of a profit off the new rules.... :D:
