Back from DLP again - new stories abound!

Just came back from another working summer season at DLP! :D
I had the fortune of working at Big Thunder Mountain - and let me tell you I have rarely worked so hard in my life! It was good work and good fun, and the team I was working in was in good spirit - in fact the best I have come across at DLP so far.
Anyway, we're here for the guest stories, so here goes;
My friend Mr D was working greeter at BTM and was more or less swamped with kids to measure and parents eager to "make sure" their kids were tall enough to ride. Suddenly, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder and he quickly turned around. He found himself facing a gentleman of maybe indian or pakistani origin who was just finishing something he had begun saying already as Mr D turned around. Mr D didn't quite catch what he was saying so he asked "Pardon?", hoping for the guest to repeat the one-word sentence he had just uttered. Thinking back, Mr D is pretty sure the guest had said "Bathroom?" or "Restroom?", but at the time he just couldn't make the connection. The guest, thinking Mr D must be bad at english, leaned forwards towards him and spoke slowly and with a drastically raised voice, bellowing "I NEEEED TOOO SHIIIIT!" so loud that the CM working the fastpass machines some 25 meters away heard it clearly....
Sometimes, keeping a straight face is a real pain - and this time it must have been murder... ;)
