Probably the best (worst) words to come out of my mouth happened on Gay Day a few years back when I was working as a railroad conductor.
My usual safety spiel at Frontierland included the advice to, "Keep you arms and legs inside the train; the bears are hungry!"
Yeah, definitely face-palm time; the one day per year when that's not the right thing to say.
Immediately the questions started, "Are the bears cute?" "Do the bears give hugs?" "Can I take the bear home with me?"
So, I just ran with it. "Yes pardners, the bears are all over the place today. And be careful, if one o' them gets you in bear hug, he may *never* let go!"
"Ooo, promise?" "I want a bear hug too!"
So I had not choice -- I closed with, "You folks sure have a queer way of lookin' at things."

Worst? Those are outright AWESOME! Face-Plam yes, but fun humor and most likely making the day of some of those fells on-board - that's can be considered Disney magic right there.Zazu wrote:Probably the best (worst) words to come out of my mouth happened on Gay Day a few years back when I was working as a railroad conductor.

Re: Tattle on Yourself
One of the shows in Innoventions includes the line: "Honda's Asimo can be used in the future with household chores, such as picking things up off of shelves and (insert other use here, cast member's discretion)" Usually, I fill that blank with something like "getting you the newspaper". Sometimes I decide to mix it up and add something else. What came out during one show? "Honda's Asimo can be used in the future with household chores, such as picking things up off of shelves and looking in your neighbor's windows"
I don't think anyone caught it so I was safe, haha.

Re: Tattle on Yourself
OK, I Confess
A CM at DLR had a pin that caught my eye. It had Chip n' Dale with a bird on it and apparently was from Disney Adventures....it said,"March of the Blue-Footed Boobies"......
I couldn't help it, I traded for it, saying,"This is probably the only Disney Pin with the word 'boobies' on it!"
I'm sorry, nice CM.

Re: Tattle on Yourself
I don't know if I would be able to resist doing this kind of thing all the time knowing that people are more interested in the action than the words. And those that are actually listening are probably the ones who would just laugh and not go any further with it.judgedom wrote:One of the shows in Innoventions includes the line: "Honda's Asimo can be used in the future with household chores, such as picking things up off of shelves and (insert other use here, cast member's discretion)" Usually, I fill that blank with something like "getting you the newspaper".

Also, I notice that this is your first post so allow my to be the first to offer you a warm* welcome. The marsupial welcoming committee should be along shortly to welcome you properly, though they may be napping, it's hard to say sometimes.
*By warm I mean incredibly hot**.
**By incredibly hot I mean you should probably get out of the black flames you are now standing in.

Re: Tattle on Yourself
Zazu's reminded me of my own Gay Days flub. I was working the Winnie the Pooh FP Return when a little girl asked me about when Tinkerbell flies. I started my sentence with, "Well, a little fairy told me...". I looked up and realized that there were a whole bunch of red shirts right there listening to the entire conversation. I sort of hesitated realizing what I had said and they busted up laughing. I'm sure the look on my face was rather amusing.
Petite and Proud!

Re: Tattle on Yourself
One Gay Day a silly person asked me if I believed in fairies. I looked at the crowd around us and replied, "On a day like this, it's pretty hard not to."
