Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Remains
Officials at Disneyland had to shut down the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for almost an hour last week when someone saw a woman sprinkle something into the ride's water. Could have been anthrax, but It was probably a loved one's ashes, since the happiest place on earth has become the final destination for the recently deceased. A Disney spokesman said he couldn't confirm what it was, but said the rider, who was not arrested, claimed it was only baby powder. (Pirates have chafing issues.) "It used to happen every once in a while at the Haunted Mansion, but now it's happening more," mostly at the Pirates ride, he said of the ash sprinkling. Although cremated remains pose no health threat, it's a misdemeanor violation of the state Health and Safety Code to scatter them on private property, and Disney denies all requests from people wanting to leave Grandma in the eternal hell of It's a Small World.
