Guilao Rollercoaster

"Grandpa, what's a rollercoaster?"
"Well my little haole girl, a rollercoaster is this thing that
they have at carnivals. They're fun things that you ride on
and they go up and down and sometimes the really cool
ones will twist and go upside down. It goes up kind of
slow but when it goes down it really goes fast, sometimes
it goes so fast that you scream cuz it's so scary. Some of
the really tough or brave and courageous people will stick
their hands up and away from the hold-down bar and not
scream out of fear, they're screaming cuz the going down
is exhilarating, almost euphoric. Other people just pee in
their pants. The thing is, if you stay down on the ground
cuz you're scared of riding one, you'll never experience
that high that you get from the ride."
"Grandpa, are you talking about rides or are you talking
about the Guilaos?"
"Yeah, good point."
