    As a teacher, I filled in to be the last person they needed for a college trip to Disney. As we entered the park and got checked for bombs,my idiotic NPC colleague lisped “it’s so beautiful here 🥹”. As we were getting checked for BOMBS

      I don’t get the joke. Is it the contrast between beauty and bombs? Or did your colleague say that like those were their last words?

        If they are roughly the age that i am they may remember a time when you didn’t get checked for bombs at amusement parks

          Oh my god, thank you - apparently I’m aging myself. Yes - we didn’t used to need go through bomb checkpoints.

          Also for the record I feel bad about saying idiotic and NPC! That was unnecessarily unkind, even if I found her excruciatingly vapid
