I'm gonna guess that certain people turn on their loud stupid in museums.

What museum is it El?

Academy of Natural Sciences. I generally work in either the Live Animal Center or the butterfly exhibit.

Most common things we get to say:
"Please do not bang on the glass."

"Please do not touch, grab, catch, chase, or kick the butterflies."

"Yes it's hot in here. Please keep your clothes on anyway."

"This is a museum. We ask that you not run screaming through the exhibits."

"No, butterflies can't hurt you."

Things I want to say:
"Yes, ma'am, you're right. That powder on their wings DOES make them able to fly. Just like pixie dust. Isn't that cool?"

"Yes, Billy, if you touch a butterfly, you'll kill it. Because you have the Hand of Death. So do me a favour and don't touch me either, ok?"

"Please don't eat that fruit. It's food for the butterflies; it's been sitting out for a few days; and it's covered in fruitfly maggots. Have a nice day."

"Why, yes, that WAS a cockroach. Why do you ask?"

"Yes, they're highly poisonous. Lethal, in fact. You may want to take your children and walk-not-run to the exit, thankyouverymuch."

...Of course, I may just need a vacation.
