“Hmmm. It’s small. Is it safe?”
“Sure it’s safe! We bolt you in so it’s perfectly safe:) It drops like a stone down to 12,500 feet and you can see the Titanic through that little glass window!”

I’m going. Do you think I’d go if it wasn’t safe?
“What do you mean you bolt me in? Nuh uh. Nuh uh”!
“You’re stupid”!
