Wanted to have her baby in the castle? My god!

Perhaps some people take the obsession a bit TOO far..

NEVA!

Well, I guess Pluto was TRYING to throw this kid out of the park (or worse.)

Too bad he couldn't catch the little bugger!

Pluto vs Kid

That was awful! I wonder what had happened that this guy in the character suit thought it was OK to chase such a little kid like that, he was haulin As*! LOL! ~Disney Characters unite!!!! Down with the children!!!!~ LMBO!

LOL! I can't stop laughing, this thread is a riot!

 

[Millie12591]

On our first trip in Dec. we saw (finally) 3 Pop Warner families removed from ASSport because of their behavior. Screaming, cursing, running up and down the halls, in the pool at all hours of the night and fighting with another family from a different team. Just one more reason why Disney needs to tell Pop Warner to find a new place to have their championships!

LOL! You said ***....hu,hu,hu LOL! Sorry couldn't help it, it went along with the thread.

As someone who has friends who rent to others, I thought Robo's joke was quite clever.

Ditto!!!! It was meant to be a joke, run with it!

I saw a teenager not be allowed into a park. He was with friends and jokeingly said there was a bomb in his backpack. Security wasn't amused and when asked to repeat it, he did. The sheriffs department showed up soon after and he was escorted away. His friends left him as quickly as they could though.

I'm finding this thread extremely entertaining, thanks to everyone who's contributed so far.

If I've learned one thing from it, it's don't count on your companions to back you up when you do something incredibly stupid at WDW!

Over the past few days I've seen a number of posts describing people throwing temper tantrums and yelling at cast members.

Which makes me wonder . . . has anyone ever seen someone thrown out of a park? What would a person have to do?

I saw someone removed from a resort. The jerk physically threatened the CM because "His" villa at OKW was not avaialble.

He was escorted out of the building by local police and the manager told his wife that "DVC management will contact you regarding the status of your ownership" (I think that meant you are GONE!)

I also saw three people being denied entry to Epcot once. They were sitting on the ground in a kind of LARGE triangle with all thier bags piled in the center (well out of reach) Disney Security and the police were having a discussion and the guy I asked said they probably either made a threat or had something in one of thier bags. He said the cops would decide if they would arrest.

Not trying ot be difficult, and I rarely get involved, but where is the joke in the "rent" comment?

1. A lady going into labor refused to leave. She wanted to have her baby inside the castle. They forced her into an ambulance.

Are you serious...what was she crazy or something...wow thats amazing what some people will do...

Not trying ot be difficult, and I rarely get involved, but where is the joke in the "rent" comment?

Its just a "formula" joke.
It has no actual basis in FACT.
It is just a funny line.

Here's how it works.

1) A. says, "It makes you wonder how they behave in their OWN HOME."

2) B. says (to A,) "They RENT."

3) B. says (to audience,) From ME.


1) A. sets up a thought in the listeners head. (They likely misbehave away from the park.)

2) B. contradicts the statement in a surprising way. (Own vs Rent)

3) B. pays off #2 with a "shocking" self-reference. (They likely misbehave in HIS world, every day.)


Same formula, different joke:

1) A. says, "It's too early in the morning to go hunting!"

2) B. says (to A,) "I once shot an elephant in my pajamas."

3) B. says (to audience,) "How he got into my pajamas, I'll never know."


1) A. sets up a thought in the listeners head. (Too EARLY to hunt.)

2) B. contradicts the statement in a surprising way (Not too early, shot an elephant.)

3) B. pays off #2 with a "shocking" self-reference. (Elephant wearing B's PJ's.)



By telling you this I break one of the oldest "rules" of comedy that says,
"If you have to explain 'em, you're in the wrong room."

Its just a "formula" joke.
It has no actual basis in FACT.
It is just a funny line.

I think you had to be there.

For the record I laughed when I read the joke, I thought it was funny but I was just waiting for someone to call Robo on it. Sometimes a joke is just a joke and people shouldn't take everything so seriously.

This reminds me of a case we read in class about a guy who sued Pepsi because he "believed" that Pepsi was really offering to give people Harrier jets in exchange for a certain number of "Pepsi Points." The poor judge writing the opinion had to spend several pages explaining what the definition of a joke was.

I saw someone who was obviously intoxicated and abusive escorted out of the WS once.

I also saw another lady once carried out. I wouldn't say she was thrown out, but the medics came to get her. She had been wearing a Baby Bjorn-type baby carrier and had tripped on the concrete. There was blood. Both baby and mom were carried out. I don't think it was all that serious, but I would never use one of those carrier things at WDW.

Somehow, "explaining a joke" just never works.

Most jokes rely on "surprise."

If I ask, "Why do firemen wear red suspenders?"

Then most listeners (those who don't know this old joke) will start thinking about various reasons why RED would be a firefighter's choice.

The joke's answer is, "To keep their pants up."
This works as a "surprise joke" because the listeners were first given a statement to "throw off their thinking" (they were looking for a deeper meaning in "red,") when only the more simple answer was needed.

So, if you read or hear a joke and, at first, don't "get it,"
instead of assuming someone is trying to be "nasty" or "insulting"
just look to see if there might be some sort of "spin on the obvious"
being presented to "throw off your thinking" to set up the "surprise."

as someone who until about 4 months ago rented or lived in Military Family Housing:

I can assure that that there is a small minority of people with the mentality of :

"I don't own this house, so I don't have to take care of it."

It's fact of life that if you are not going to be held personally responsible for something, whether it be minor like repairing a small hole in the wall from where your pictures used to hang to something major like cleaning the carpet( The 'after all, the landlord will do it themselves anyway so why should I have to pay for it' mentality) you will not be wont to show personal responsibility.

In other words, Robo's comment may have been intended as a joke, but there is some basis in truth.

Here's a newer riddle (surprise) joke:

You are in a bathroom.

The bathtub is filled with water.

You are given 3 items:

A thumble.
A coffee cup.
A bucket.

Your task is to empty the bathtub.

What do you use to empty the bathtub?
