The forgotten meaning of "jerk"
Apparently the trick for roller coasters is to keep the passengers hearts in the same plane so they don't perceive the ride as jerky.

Unless you are in Poland; then you need to keep the Poles in the right-hand plane or it will be unstable.

I thought the Poles needed to be either all on the left-hand plane, or within the unit disk, for stability? (I haven't had my coffee yet, so maybe I'm remembering wrong).
Either way, I loved the joke. Thank you!
