"How about this one?"

Lindsey motioned up to a water slide beside them.

Stevie looked up at it and nodded.

"Yeah, this one looks okay." She said.

They headed over and got into the long line.

As they moved along slowly, Stevie looked over at the splashdown pool as a huge inner tube full of people emerged from the slide.

"Oh, so it's not for one person." Stevie said, pointing to it.

Lindsey looked over.

"Guess not..." he said. "Going down in an inner tube will be fun though."

As they got closer to the stairs leading up, they began to hear a recorded announcement.

"The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

Lindsey chuckled.

"Must be one of those Duh messages they put up so people can't sue when someone is stupid enough to do something like that." Lindsey said, chuckling.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

They began to climb the stairs.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

Lindsey looked at the others.

"Oh God, do we have to hear this all the way up?" he said.

"Sounds like it." Mick replied.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

"WE KNOW!" Lindsey yelled as everyone giggled.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

Lindsey shook his head.

"Couldn't they play music in between this stupid message so we aren't driven insane by the time we get up there?" he asked.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

"Arrrgh! I'm about ready to ram through people to get up there. How about you guys?"

"Thinking about it..." Mick said, grinning.

"Quit thinking and do it, Mick. With you as a battering ram we'll have no problem mowing people down." Lindsey said, grinning.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

The grin fell from Lindsey's face and he rolled his eyes.

"Just about ready to find the speaker and strangle it." He muttered.

"If you do find it, let me help you..." Stevie added.

"Do not get out of the inner tube while it is in motion.... The splashdown pool is only 5 inches deep. Please do not dive into the splashdown pool."

Lindsey looked back at the others.

"The splashdown pool is not 5 inches deep. We are lying to you. Feel free to lunge out of the goddamn inner tube and take the Nestea plunge into the splashdown pool." He said.
