Now the building code inspector wants me to tear it down because it is not handicapped accessible.

Don't worry, it's a government building and you just followed their specs.

The inspector is at more risk than you; politicians "fix" things this way: if something is wrong and won't fit, make everything else wrong so they match.

Isn't that where Harry Potter caught the Hogwarts "Puddle Jumper" Express when he missed the train?

To find it you have to stand between terminals 5 and 6 and push your baggage trolley towards the wall as fast as you can...

You would think after all these years they would have figured stairs out.

You would think at least Davros would not have limited himself to a chair incapable of handling stairs. I suppose local regulations took care of it and he did not have to waste time on design alternatives.

"Buttmeister! Come here!"

"You bellowed, your Gloriousness?"

"Buttmeister, our staff is getting old and nearing retirement."

"Is that a statement or a question, your Behemothness?"

"Buttmeister, we'll need younger staff very soon, but I have no idea what engages them."

"What do you propose I do, your Highness?"

"Buttmeister, I pay you to figure that stuff out. Go talk to those skateboarders out front."

But imagine the baiting poor kaplin will be getting at the office ! Such minor slips are the seedgrain for endless hours of ribbing somebody (no, I'll not reveal some of mine - there are too many !). It couldn't have happened with a more suitable picture. The very post in itself beats any reply that could be given.

Top funny comment on the other one about nobody having yet having given a good enough answer. I'll GA that when I revisit.
