Tourists Not Leaving Landmark Until All Permutations Of Groups And Cameras Exhausted | The Onion - America's Finest News Source:
KEYSTONE, SD—Less than eight minutes after arriving at the famed attraction, a group of tourists visiting the Mount Rushmore National Memorial has made it clear they will not leave until at least one photo of every possible combination of people has been taken by every available camera, sources reported today. "Okay, now Sue, Kyle, Rick, Boyd, James, the dog, and the twins," sightseer Paula Thorpe, 42, was overheard saying while taking the group's 372nd photograph of the day with one of the six cameras on her person. "All right, now just the girls and Tim." At press time, the tourists were trying to convince a nearby German tourist to take 75 pictures of them all together.
