Today I was sitting in my photo booth when a man stopped by. He said "Look at this, just like at the theme parks! So you take pictures on the roller coaster? I've never seen anything like this!" Thinking he was an interested customer (believe it or not, he's not the first) I proceeded to give my speel about the camera, the sensor that triggers the camera and the flash/strobe. Then I see the photo and print it out from inside my booth. At this point, he lets me know he is a concessionaire (his tell-tale red logo polo hidden by his coat). He said "I have the giant gator." I had seen it, one of those "back end" shows, pay your dollar and look at an oddity. He introduces himself with a smile and a handshake, and I tell him my name. He suggests I "stop by and see me sometime."
I happily relay this encounter to my other half later, especially the part about how friendly the giant gator guy was. He responds, "He also has a giant snake." Oh honey, they all say that.
