Words Without Thought

Look out . . . some people just don't know how to think before they speak. Enjoy!

MOVIE THEATERS

# "For The Lion King, you have shows at 11:45 and at 12:15. Does that mean it's a half-hour long?" -- Asked by a customer of a multiplex.

# "Can I still have a ticket? I'll find a seat." -- Asked by a customer after being told a particular showing of a movie was sold out.

VIDEO STORES

# "Do you sell butter dishes? Why not?" -- Asked by a customer.

# "Diapers! I need diapers!" -- Demanded by a customer, gesturing angrily and waving his arms around.

SHOPPING

# "I need blades for this." -- Woman, holding up a belt sander.

# "Do you carry blades that can go over rocks?" -- Woman, buying her third lawn mower blade in two weeks.

# "Do you have wheels?" -- Customer who, when questioned as to what type of wheels, replied, "You know! Wheels!"

TRANSPORTATION

# "What time does the 7 o'clock ferry leave?"

# "We might be late because of bad weather. If we are, would you hold the ship until we get there?" -- A man on the phone with a ferry service.

# "It depends. Are you coming from the north or south?" -- A man, when asked if one should turn east or west after getting off the freeway.

# "Horizon proudly donates a portion of the proceeds from our complimentary in-flight service to the preservation of Glacier National Park." -- A flight attendant, describing Horizon Airline's complimentary beverage and snack service.

# "Are you going by bus?" -- Asked by a bus driver, when asked to let a passenger know when they got to Masson Street.
