Teh Stoopid: It's Everywhere

I'm still compiling thoughts and pictures from our first days in Disney. Time is obviously at quite a premium, and I'm pulling together thoughts at the table in our room while the kids either bounce off the walls or drift into and out of consciousness. And Daddy, too... I want to (at least try to) get my thoughts down for each day we're here or at least each park we visit.

This struck me as too funny not to comment, though. It appears that even the Sunshine State is not immune from teh stoopid. While walking through Orlando airport, we came across this nice little water display:

Water Display in Orlando Airport

Pretty nice, huh?

Here's where teh stoopid comes in, though. These signs were posted all around the fountain:

A Closer Look

Yeah. "Wet Floor" signs surrounding a WATER DISPLAY. Ah, Florida. G-d's Waiting Room...


That is all.

You know they're just covering their asses because of our litigious society! Pretty fountain, though.

Don't try to do too much, Jay (blogging, I mean), it's understandable that you have far better things to do in Orlando than to keep us updated! Not that we don't appreciate it, of course...;)

It is sometimes said, by someone I forget, that the first duty of the reasonably bright is to point out the obvious.

Actually I am the guy that made those "stoopid" signs. As one lady who was intelligent enough to put it, it is for legal reasons. If some idiot visiting from out of town slipped on the wet floor, and there was no warning, he could sue the airport. So the "stoopid" person is not the airport, it is the tourost not paying attention to where he/ she is going. have a nice day!
