Elevator


Here are some common elevator tips.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trapped in an elevator? You are lucky if there is no electricity surge that sometimes can cause the elevator to free fall. But just in case, you are that unlucky, here are a few pointers that may save your life,

1. Quickly jam every button for every floor, hopefully there will be a backup system that cuts the fall.

2. Hold on to any railings so as to maintain balance and support upon impact.

3. Align your back to the wall of the elevator to protect your spine.

4. Bend your knees as your knee tendons are flexible and can better absorb the impact than your bones.

Ever get tired of waiting forever for a spot in an elevator? Try making your way to the highest or lowest floor where the traffic usually starts loading.

And here is an elevator joke to top it off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. The boy asked his father, "What is this, Father?"

The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don't know what it is."

While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up.

They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out.

The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, "Go get your mother."

Very funny...This is way better than your blog using wordy and difficult vocabulary to stun and discourage people from reading your blog.

It is at the right length too. If only you can trim down the number of crap or uninteresting post and just keep the good ones.

Points taken.

The use of difficult vocabulary is actually my way of learning new words and applying them. That is also why I have included a dictionary link from the blog.

Btw. You should take note of your grammatical errors.
