The Biggest Space Is Between Their Ears
THEME PARK | ORLANDO, FL, USA | BIZARRE, TOURISTS/TRAVEL
(I work at a certain mountain based sci-fi rollercoaster in a magical themed park run by a mouse. Every night at 10 pm, we have a fireworks show. One night, I am standing at greeter position. Five minutes before the fireworks show; I am approached by a guest.)
Me: “Hello, ma’am, how could I be of assistance?”
Guest: “Yeah, could you tell me what’s in here?” *pointing at the building containing the rollercoaster*
Me: “Oh, yes, that’s [Space-themed Roller Coaster Mountain]. It’s an indoor rollercoaster. The wait time is currently—”
Guest: “Wait, so, it’s not for the fireworks?”
Me: “Afraid not. The fireworks will be visible from out here, though, if you wanted to see them.”
Guest: “I really thought there was some special viewing area up there for the fireworks.”
Me: *looking at the giant concrete structure with no platforms, windows, or balconies* “Unfortunately not, friend. In fact once inside you’ll be completely unable to see the fireworks, seeing as the whole thing is indoors.”
Guest: “Oh. Wait why are there people going in then?”
Me: “Well, they’re going in to ride the rollercoaster.”
Guest: “But the fireworks are about to start.”
Me: “They won’t be watching the fireworks.”
Guest: “But why? They start in five minutes!”
Me: “I guess they don’t want to see them then.”
Guest: *after a long pause* “Well, that’s really stupid, then.”
(Without any hesitation, the guest then proceeded to get in line for the ride, and walked into the building.)
