Removed from the park

[dreamn_Disney]

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 hope you have this one saved to a file for future use. With you humor, and the lack of it on the board at times, you will need to use it a lot.

Thanks!

I'll file it right now.

I do love that explanation. It is very good. Also very funny. Informative and entertaining kinda like EPCOT!

BTW - I totally agreed with you on the Epcot thread earlier today.

A long, long time ago, when I was a young smart-@** college kid, I was refused admittance to MK. I was wearing a T-shirt that had no lettering, simply a picture of a leaf. OK, so it was a leaf from a banned substance, but still... I tried to convince the CM that it was a Canadian maple leaf, but he was having none of it. He directed me to the nearest souvenir stand, where I bought a Mickey T-shirt, put it on, and was admitted. Lesson learned.

Considering the dress (or lack thereof) that is allowed nowdays, I wonder if they'd still ban that T-shirt.

lol! better than trying to conceive in the castle!!

There IS that rather large bathroom in the princess meet and greet for Cinderella's Royal Table .... I'm old ...(but not yet dead!) & comfort is everything!

Sorry ... that's off topic!!! Wow ... when people are drinking, I can understand "stuff" happening but some people must just be so angry. Nothing is worth screaming at a person about. It doesn't ever help. I hope never to see people being escorted out. (And since I most likely WON'T be doing any castle-panky ... it won't be me either -- )

PS: ROBO ... you seem to be insulting people alot lately ... you had best keep that humor under wraps (NOT!). I mean even when you answer questions without being asked ... you just rub people the wrong way !

That is a good one - nice try - very creative of you!

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.

Well the mistake was obviously in the unergonomic Bjorn carrier. Other carriers are much better.

Choices:

1. mom falls while holding baby, baby goes flying.
2. mom falls while pushing baby in stroller, stroller goes shooting away from the force of her hands, ends up in front of who knows where, maybe even turning over.
3.mom wearing baby securely, mom and baby might be scraped, but are safe with each other.

Clearly the problem was the actual carrier. Ergo or mei tai = much better.



Robo: I rent, I'm happy to rent, I'm a much better tenant than I'll ever be an owner, and our former landlady is clamoring to get us back into one of her properties.....and I found your joke to be very funny!


I'm so glad I've never seen anyone kicked out of DLR.....

This actually happened to a member of our band when we went around 1989. I remember before we went to the parks our band director told us not to do anything stupid b/c Disney had eyes everywhere. Sure enough, the guy who always had to mess things up thought it would be funny to try to shoplift. He was tossed out of the park, sent home at his parents expense, and kicked out of the band. But you know those percussionists, always causing trouble

Disclaimer: the above joke in no way reflects on the morality of all other percussionists. Opinions expressed are exaggerated for humorous effect.

OMGoodness! That was halarious!! I think I've found a new bestfriend on the board, just enough smart a** to get the point across and.... STILL FUNNY!!! Oh and we live close to one another! I'm in Austin sorta too! he he I think I've finally found my people on The board! MrsSilvaStrat, Robo, and now branv!! You all are to much! LOL

What time is the three o'clock parade?

 

[Haley]

I rent, too, and thought Robo's joke was funny! Just about anything anyone posts will have one person come out of the woodwork whose offended by it.

Anyways, I remember someone posting her before that they saw a man get kicked out of Epcot for squatting in the corner of the Maelstrom queue and going to the bathroom (#2 of course).

Maybe he just reeeeally didn't want to stay for the educational movie about Norway afterwards....

 

[Robo]

What time is the three o'clock parade?

I get it.

(That was my OTHER "psychic answer" thread.)

Thank you SO much for playing.

If the three o'clock parade starts at three, what time do the renters show up?

 

[Tink_Or_Belle]

If the three o'clock parade starts at three, what time do the renters show up?

at least 7 days late ...

 

[Robo]

Oh, Deja Vu!

Dionne put me on the road to my Psychic Answer career!

(That's What Friends Are For.)

I called the hotline and she said she I sounded "Psychic" (I think she said "Psychic" or something LIKE "Psychic".)

Hmmmmmmmm.
