I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

For some reason this conjures the image of one Saturday at Crossgates Mall. During the throes of this family shopping day, my brother sneaked away from us to go sate his curiousities about the escalator (wow, a moving staircase!). As soon as we realized he was not with us, we turned our heads to discover the naughty boy had somehow affixed himself to the upward moving banister of the escalator and was being tugged to the second floor of the mall, his face frozen in that "caught red-handed and now I'm up shit creek" sort of way.
