No Rant!

I've no rant! I've no rant! Help!

I also have no idea why I decided to use a conjunction for I have. That's not like me, and I'm not British. Weird, right?

Hey, look at this picture!


This is an actual sign at SeaWorld, Orlando. I guess no one without two feet can ride this ride since it says conditionally that "Guests must wear shoes and shirts at all times" and not "Guests must wear at least one shoe and one shirt"

... Wait, why do the guests need to wear more than one shirt to ride this ride?

Also, how is the poor soul with less than two functioning limbs supposed to get on the ride in the first place? This seems like overkill to me.


Clearly this sign wasn't proofread. Or maybe it was. There must have been a reason to place the whole "Two Functioning Limbs" rule before the section defending SeaWorld from prosecution if any "Loose Items" become lost or damaged, so - many - possibilities.

It probably went down like this:
A triple amputee became angry when he, with his one shirt got on the ride. The ride operator failed to inform him that his prosthetic second leg would likely come off during the ride. His leg did come off and his second shoe and prosthetic leg were destroyed by the ride. Helpless to do anything else, he stumbled (hopped) home and sued SeaWorld for the cost of a replacement leg and did not win. SeaWorld then allowed the ride operator to compose a new ride warning sign, ensuring that no single shirt, single shoe wearing triple amputee's could ever sue them again. Bases covered.

...Oh hey, look, I found something fictional to rant about.
