I Wonder...

I wonder if there is any time that it would be okay to smack a guest upside the head and tell them to stop using up oxygen that could be used by an intelligent life form... like a snail... or an earthworm....
I have always loved just observing the stupidity that surrounds you in the park. I happen to be an ODV and I hope that its just that we catch the brunt of it, but due to the fact that this web site exists, I fear that my hopes are in vain.
Whenever I think of a stupid guest interaction I have had, I remember one woman in particular. She came up to me when I was busy making cotton candy(this was quite a while ago, I know, because we no longer have that location for some reason). Well, anyway, she came up and asked me where "that big, white Epcott ball was." I paused from my work and thought for a second as to how i should break this to her and not laugh my ass off and said, "I'm sorry Miss but thats in Florida at Disney World." And I'll be damned but she pulled out a disneyworld map and pointed on it and said "we are in Disney World and I want to know where that ball is!"
Apparently she had either been afflicted with the world's worst case of jet lag or something wasnt right with her because she was convinced that she was not only in Florida but she was at disneyworld and I was part of some huge conspiracy to keep her from seeing the epcott ball. She proceeded to call me everything that she could think of while i fought back the laughter so hard that my eyes were tearing up.
I somehow managed to call a custodial CM over and asked him for a map which he happily obliged. I handed the map to her and told her that perhaps this will clear up any further confusion. She just walked away and that was the last I heard of it.
If anyone else ran into a woman, that may have been the same woman by any chance, and had a similarly hilarious experience, please reply! I am curious if my experience with her was isolated or a part of a much better story...
