Natural Selection At Work

(I am in concessions and a customer comes up bleeding pretty good.)

Customer: “Hi, I was wondering where your first aid station is?”

Me: “It is that gazebo right over there.”

(I point to a gazebo about 30 feet away.)

Customer: “Uh… where is it?”

Me: “The gazebo right over there. The hut that has the ‘First Aid’ sign hanging on it.”

Customer: “Oh, okay.”

(He walks halfway over to the station but stops and looks at the hand sanitizer on a post for a couple of seconds but then comes back.)

Customer: “Okay, where is this place?”

Me: “It is the hut right over there. It’s about 20 feet away from you.”

Customer: “Well, I don’t see it.”

Me: “Would you like me to walk you over there?”

Customer: *pauses to think* “Nah, I’ll just let the chlorine stop the bleeding…” *starts walking away*

Me: “Sir! You can’t bleed like that in a pool!”
