This actually happened to me, and I was a lot more annoying over a longer span of time than is shone here. I just didn't think that the joke was worth stretching it out for a full page.
And I didn't get why the tour guide suggested that until after Dad explained it to me. ~.~;

Annoying... by asking lots of questions? That's your job, as a child and as a tourist. And it's the guide's job to answer questions. The guide should be happy to see enthusiasm. I have no sympathy for a tour guide who gets annoyed by too many questions.
P.S. How do they keep the fancy stuff from breaking?
That's what I thought at the time, too. But then I was also the only one of the group doing any talking. Well, Dad did make a comment when I asked why there would be a warning bell in a place where a bell couldn't be heard. Something like, 'It's regulations.' The tour guide actually made a joke after that.
And I don't recall how they keep the fancy stuff from breaking.
Nathaniel,
I do see your point, and agree. However, a sense of justice prompts me to recall two points:
Brigid shares with me an unusual capacity to ask questions: many questions; complex questions; lengthy questions.
The tour guide was, as I recall, friendly throughout. I think the implied threat of trying out the cleaning rig was intended as a jest.
