THE LINES ARE FOR GETTING HANDSY.

That's borrowing from Gutfeld! regular Kat Timpf, who has recently explained amusement parks and movie theaters are for teenagers to put their hands on each other with no adults watching.

The adults, apparently, make imaginative use of ... the Ferris wheel?  "32-year-old man, woman arrested for having sex on amusement park ride."

Yes, seriously.  The Ferris Wheel in question is one of those large wheels with seating that looks a little like small hot tubs, and these riders apparently got the idea.

Police say several witnesses told them they saw a man and woman performing sexual acts, while on the Giant Wheel ride. They also told police they felt their cart shaking while the two were above them.

“The group said the couple knew they were being watched and started laughing and continued their behavior,” a police report read.

The department said a witness told police that she was very shaken up about what she saw, saying the incident was very traumatizing.

Police said the man and woman initially denied the allegations. The woman reportedly told officers she bent over to pick up a pack of cigarettes she had dropped while the man was helping her.

However, Sandusky police said the two later admitted they had sex on the ride. They were arrested and taken to the Erie County Jail.

Yes, that was at Cedar Point. A colleague from years past worked there and he did not object to my description of the lines as deliberately long for the teens to get acquainted!

If that witness found the incident "traumatizing" I wonder how she'd react at the monkey island at the zoo, or at some of the animal pens at the county fair.

At some county fairs, though, the only Ferris Wheel is your classic Jacksonville Iron, which does not have seats conducive to getting frisky.
