Things that crack me up #43












Image description: A color photo posted to Flickr by zombie squirrels shows a Sea World, San Diego, sign with art deco stylings. The text of the sign directs "Disabled" to the left and "Child Swap" to the right. If you have a disabled child you'd like to trade in, apparently you're out of luck.

Who swaps kids at Sea World? You might end up with Shamu Jr. Just try to get him to do his math homework.

Um. That sign has some mighty creepy overtones. Sometimes it's better NOT to combine messages, y'know?

For the uninitiated, what one Earth is a child swap?

Donimo: If I understand correctly, it's a way for people to reorganize at amusement parks. When children are under the height limit for a ride, an adult typically stays out of line to wait with the child while others in their party enjoy the ride. The swap system allows people doing this to then "swap around" and the adult who didn't get to ride the first time can go ride without starting at the back of the line. Since the whole party was already waiting to get to the front of the ride's line, it allows the group to enjoy the ride within two go-arounds of that ride and move on without endless waiting and negotiating who stays with the child too small for the ride.
