And that Jungle Cruise experience with that gay guy made me think while lauhing for awhile into the night, "what the heck were they thinking, must, I mean MUST be a joke."

But I am all for equal rights, just as strategically as possible. Utilize people's strengths.

There were rules about hair, jewelry etc. I get it at DL, but at the Post Office? It was crazy!!!

Originally Posted By Goofyernmost Not to change the subject but when I was a kid, that is how often you took a bath. Once a week if you needed it or not. I guess it was kind of a throw back from when my parents were young and they had to draw water from the well, heat it up on the stove and fill a tub up. You really didn't want to do that more than once a week. I think I am offended!
Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<Not to change the subject but when I was a kid, that is how often you took a bath.>> Yep. Until I was in high school and started taking a daily shower, Saturday night was bath night. All kids took a bath that evening; taking turns in the one bath tub. Our other bathroom was a half bath – just toilet and sink. This was very common for houses built n the 50’s and 60’s. If you had a second bathroom it rarely had a tub or shower. It was also almost unheard of for every kid to have their own bedroom. You almost always shared with a sibling. You have to remember this was a time of large families, with most people having at least 3 or 4 kids. Even if you were pretty well off and had a four bedroom house (about as big as they came back then), with 4 kids and parents someone had to share.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney ^^^I'm telling your wife you said that!!!;P I really think a female cast member is fully capable of running the canoes. In fact there were two women cast members on the canoe I went in last time. It's not only the CMs that row, ya know. We are all supposed to do our share. A whole canoe of women without any men on it would be perfectly capable of making it around the river I'm sure. As far as skin problems, that's a shock cause often there is nothing, short of harsh prescriptions, you can do about this. I guess if you weren't perfect looking in Walt's day, no working at Disneyland for you!
