So when the elevator car that has a sign reading 'capacity: 2500', what gives?

[Deja Q]

2500 people cannot fit in an elevator car.

15 can, and that's a squeeze that would make sardines envious.

Now, judging by relative size and weight, 2500 gerbils might be able to fit into an elevator car. But that would smell really really bad.

1. 2500

pounds!

[Cannikin]

2. ...

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

5. How do you know? The sign only said 'Capacity: 2500'!

:rofl:

yeah, you're right, but they still deserve a lawsuit! :P

[HuskerDU]

7. It should say 'Maximum weight capacity: 2500 lbs'

I'd sue either way!:rofl:

[ChaoticSilly]

11. Makes sense

2500 of these would fit, especially if you use larger denominations

3. It means Limbaugh

has to take the stairs.

[XemaSab]

4. Correction:

It means Limbaugh is confined to the ground floor. :P

[Cannikin]

6. But we'll waive that limit for him if its an express elevator to hell!

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. If it's an express elevator to hell

he just gets the shaft.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I accept that

I doubt stairs can be built strongly enough.

12. I was thinking more like he would die of a massive coronary before he got past the 5th step

therefore effectively confining him to ground level. :shrug:

ps Al Franken is my god. :D

10. The aids clinic I go to is on the fifth floor.

They had national physical month a few months back and had a sign on the first floor that suggested that they take the stairs instead of the elevator. I was like,"Yeah!! Yeah!!" The workout will do me good!! I huff and puff to the fifth floor and the door was locked!!!! Needless to say, I don't take the stairs anymore.

13. Falwell, too

oh, wait... nevermind... his elevator is going down anyway.

14. someone must have erased "pounds"

[meegbear]

15. I wouldn't be concerned about that ...

look at the safety inspection date and when it expires! I used to ride one everyday for over a year that expired 8 months before I started and still wasn't inspected the time I was there. :scared:
