My experience with the Fairground Con
 

1, Shooting Gallery : Hmm after lengthy observation it appeared that the sights of my weapon were misaligned from the true, causing the projectiles to strike the target both high and to the left. (This could be countered by deliberately aiming the firearm in a compensatory direction) simple balistic geometry, not the point, a con. :yep: 2, Fortune Teller : As I neared my way toward the stairwell of said apparatus Hall Of Mirrors, I heard a voice ask "do you want your fortune told love" It was a scruffy lady, I replied (the very fact that you find it necessary to ask the question is surely proof in itself of your inability to forsee, several seconds ago, that at this point I would not enter your booth). After some strange looks were exchanged, another con sprang to mind. :hmmm: 3,Hall Of mirrors : :O: Con 4,Toffee apple : :nope: con. 5,Dogem Cars, : Con :nope: waste of money. I do not see the fun in such farce :nope: I shall not return.

Sounds like you had fun being conned.

:yep: I did in the later cons :rock:

I want to crack a joke here about conning towers, but am unable to come up with anything witty. :hmmm::nope:

Beware, Greeks in conning towers.:D

Hmmm........ a word of caution, "one please" as I sat in the cramped dogem car, paying the man, a hoot then the music started. The other dogem cars were moving. The attendant came running "whats wrong is it not working" shaking the pole. :har: "try pushing the pedal, push down harder" (not) holding the steering wheel I glared at him. ( I surmised that remaining stationary I found myself in the best suited position for avoiding collision, and furthermore made evasive action unecessary). This method ensures the lowest aggregate speed in the event of a head- on impact. :yep: I sat until the hooter sounded and left said dogem car. :yawn:

If your not careful they will sail away with a fin... :O:

:o

but.... but..... but........

Chortle.:yeah:

Why do they call them Fairs anyhow.

Not much there seems fair to me :haha:

here KK, I'll help:

Yes, you are correct. fair? misleading! As I observed the stall sign, Toffee Apples £1.50 I decided to purchase one, as I bit into it, there appeared to be a piece of fruit, that was an apple, to use fruit in its Non-Botanical term (as of course an apple contains the fruit, but the fleshy part is but a swollen recepticle) sheathed within the toffee. I concluded therefore that the notice has been couched using misleading elipsis. I was lead to believe that the word toffee was used in an adjectival sense, that is to say describing the constitution of the product. Ie an apple shaped toffee. :nope:

I'll take an apple-shaped toffee over a toffee-shaped apple any day. :salute:

Which brings me to the matter of Peeps. Are they a chicken-shaped marshmallow, or a marshmallow-shaped chicken? :-? Either way, Peeps taste nothing like chicken. :shifty:

That's cause they're ducks.

:huh:

My memory is slipping, apparently. :doh:
