When I was young, when I watched an episode of Pink Panther, I saw him fall through the end of the up escalator into a room filled with toys, little cars like the shriners drive in parades, and other fun stuff. So I thought that at the end of the up escalators, If you could get sucked in, you would end up in that same room. So at the end of every escalator I went on, I would make sure to try to fall through the end.
