Some People Make You Wonder How We Are The Dominant Species On This Planet

(Our park has a dinosaur-themed section. I am helping a family with directions in a nearby area.)

Customer: “What is there to do in [dino-area]?”

Me: “Well, there are carnival games, a playground for the kids, and there’s the dinosaur ride.”

Customer: “What’s that?”

Me: “It’s a bumpy jeep ride through the dark with dinosaurs attacking you—”

Customer: *in horror* “Real dinosaurs?”

Customer’s Sister: “Think about what you just said, girl. Dinosaurs are extinct!”

(The original customer is looking at me for confirmation, still horrified.)

Me: “No, we don’t have any real dinosaurs.” *joking* “We tried to get some but it didn’t work out. The ones in the ride are robotic.”

Customer: “But do they, like, climb into the cars and attack you?”

Me: *dumbfounded*

(The sister and the rest of the family are doubled over laughing.)

Me: “No! You’re perfectly safe in the car.”

Customer: “I don’t think I want to try that ride!”
