The Local reports that working as a ghost in a Stockholm theme-park fun-house is ironically not so fun.
Apparently, when workers dressed as ghosts scare patrons, they have been known to punch the ghosts in their stomachs. And that’s just what happens when the patrons aren’t intoxicated!
Good news! The theme park now has added protection for its ghost workers: they scare the patrons behind protective barriers.
Yeah, we know what you’re thinking: that doesn’t sound very scary. But don’t let your disappointment cause you to punch some innocent other Swedish employee in the stomach.
3 More Entities We Advise Not Punching In The Stomach
1. Real ghosts. You’re just going to antagonize them further and probably punch a hole in your wall, which will make the house harder to sell, if it ever returns to pre-subprime-bust, pre-ghost-haunting prices.
2. Aliens. If you ever wake up from a dream, paralyzed with fear because an alien is standing over you, don’t punch it. Because you may be hallucinating and having what science calls “sleep paralysis.” So you couldn’t whoop E.T.’s butt even if you wanted to reenact your favorite scene from Independence Day!
3. The cartoon man in the IKEA instructions. Having holes in your instructions will not help you assemble your anti-ghost-punching barrier (formerly known as a “bookshelf-made-of-paper-and-cardboard.”)
