No it's the wonderful effect of listening to "It's a Small World" over and over.

Wait, what's that in the distance? It's Al Bundy in the Bundymobile and he's got the NO MAAM gang with him. He's blasting "Born to be Wild" on his annoying car stereo, it's drowning out the sounds from the RV. I feel a fog lifting. The NO MAAM gang breaks into the RV and they find a Black & Decker Alligator Lopper, return to me and free me from the handcuffs. My mind is clearing up, "It's a Small World?", what was I thinking? Come on guys, let's get the WMDs (Weapons of Muppet Destruction) and take care of those It's a Small World puppets once and for all, don't forget to bring that Black & Decker Alligator Lopper, it could come in handy for the tough ones. It's off to Disneyland.

Buh bye Bundymobile.

It's a world of laughter a world of tears,
A world of hope and a world of fears,
There's so much we can share, it's time you're aware,
It's a small world afterall...

What the sisterhood doesn't realize we're wearing our NO MAAM ear plugs (actually implants), designed to drown out any annoying sounds, including "It's a Small World". *gives a pair of these to hoot*. These plugs are extremely effective, here's an example video of them in use:
