Escalator Quotations

When I was a kid, while touring East Berlin - back when there was an East Berlin - I got my left foot stuck in an escalator in Alexanderplatz. A few hours later, thanks to blowtorches and chainsaws and East German soldiers and the U.S. Embassy, my foot was released, and I along with it.

I always walk up the escalator on the Tube, and I live in a house with a lot of stairs, and that's good exercise, but you need more than that.

Most of the staff was much younger, but she was always the first one up and the last to bed. She never rode cabs when she could walk, and she was always calling out for us to walk up the escalator instead of ride.

The kiwi dollar tends to go up an escalator and down the lift shaft.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You would never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.
