I was at Epcot a couple of months ago and put my ticket into the machine. It went through like it was nothing. Then, when my girlfriend put hers in, the machine broke and spat out her ticket. Shortly after, all of them started to break! It was like a wave of destruction starting from my girlfriend's ticket going outwards in both directions. It got to the point where they had managers literally running to get what they called "crash kits"! By this time, I'm sitting on the other side of the fence dying. It was the funniest thing I've seen! It was like an E.R.! People were running back and forth like someone was dying, all while peoples' groups had been split up with half in and half out. It was like something out of Berlin in the 1980's: people were standing with their loved ones but were separated by a wall. I felt like I should try to sneak some contraband to the outsiders! After about 10 minutes of broken machines they were getting ready to start letting guests in by writing on their passes and putting stamps on the their hands (brings back memories). Then, all of a sudden, the machines just started to work again. So, my girlfriend then got in with no problem and we chatted with the extra cast members they called over to help. They were nothing but apologetic and were kind of taken aback by how funny we both thought the entire situation was.

Some of us don't want our heads and eyes to hurt when we're reading. There's nothing wrong with grammar correction here and there, especially if it's seriously needed like the OP's post.

Bummer. A pretty amusing post goes down hill without the aid of a reply post from Patrica Melton.
Just seems wrong now, doesn't it? ;)

I don't see what the big deal is about the original post and no punctuation in it at all I just kept reading and reading it and really didn't notice that there wasn't any punctuation in it either I certainly don't see it as a major deal like many of the rest of you do it was a funny story regardless of punctuation or not and if you turn it upside down the apostrophe is kinda like a comma so it wasn't devoid of all punctuation I hope everyone has a magical day

I don't have a problem with the grammar but more with the History! If they are all going to pick on your lack of punctuation, I can't resist mentioning the little fact that the Berlin wall was built in 1961 and came down in 1989. Apart from that I have seen that happen and yes it is very funny. LOL
