Great Irony... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Tue, 28 Dec 2004 00:23:11 In Reply to: Re: Rudest Exhibit Ever - US Constitution, Lawrence, Mon, 27 Dec 2004 18:10:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
We got in lin at about 3:45 thinking we had plenty of time before it closed at 5:30 which was also when we needed to head out to the airport. The line just reached the sidewalk. It moved okay until we got about twenty feet from the door and then stopped for a solid 15 minutes then suddenly moved quickly through security. We listened to a teenage son and daughter give their mom and dad a ton of grief about standing in the cold to see some piece of paper and 18 minutes into the stall, they were able to drag their defeated parents away abandoning their 32 minutes of invested line waiting. The group in front of us and begin us all began joking about it... Little did we know they had axtually cut their losses better than we were able to... Once in, we repacked our bags and put our coats back on and proceeded down the hall and around one turn where we got the real wait time info from a young blonde woman. She apologized for the indoor wait but had no sympathy for the outdoor wait. There was no way to make it to see the paper in time even though they would keep the exhibit open for anyone who made it in the building. We cut out and the line was outside was down the sidewalk now. As I mentioned, I went down the entire line and gave everyone the intel we had collected. I suspect 1/2 the line wouldn't even make it inside.
