When visiting an amusement park of any kind there are several laws at play. One of the laws: Lazy Thumb.
All dangerous rides at amusement parks have a rather sophisticated safety system in place to protect the passengers. Many rides are staffed by a crack team of well-trained, clean, and courteous gurus who are obsessed with providing the riders with a thrilling experience. I have a lot of respect for these workers. Their quest for excellence. Their ability to consistently stand upon the safety pedal that others might live.
But these workers have a problem and today I bring it to the fore. Today I speak out for those who cannot type as I can - deca-digitally.
It is because they suffer from the horrible amusement park operator injury known as lazy thumb. Once the riders have been securely harnessed into their particular ride, the operators will give each other a "thumbs up" to indicate that all is well. "Today we will ride in safety", they say. This ride is going to be the best ride of the day... so far.
But they cannot. They can only meakly hold their palms to the heavens but with very little thumb extension. They can no longer confidently and with joy-filled aggression thrust their lateral-most digit upward. Their hands lay flat. Their thumb lazily close to the rest of the hand.
What would Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli say?
What would he say?
Remember these thumbs today my friends. Your amusement comes at a high price... the price of the thumb.
