(and Susan, the answer is NO....not if you want a summer job or to visit the Park in the near future) And NOBODY better not pee in MY hot tub either! Banned for LIFE! |

15 May 09 - 06:35 PM (#2632897) Subject: RE: BS: How High YOUR Geyser? From: wysiwyg It's funnier, to imagine, if you see the park employees as women. Squatting. And in for a big surprise if they don't get the timing right. IRL that would be a tragedy, but in a cartoon it would be hilarious. ~S~ |

17 May 09 - 08:28 AM (#2633807) Subject: RE: BS: How High YOUR Geyser? From: GUEST,leeneia Rapaire is right, above. This behavior is too dangerous to joke about. Instead,use it as a chance to pass on a friendly warning. "Just this June, a six-year-old Utah boy suffered serious burns after he slipped on a wet boardwalk in the Old Faithful area. The boy fell into hot water that had erupted from nearby West Triplet Geyser. He survived, but 20 park visitors have died, the most recent six years ago, scalded by boiling Yellowstone waters as hot as 250 degrees Fahrenheit." |
