Carnies Scare Me - Fair Week Day 5.

Attentive Carnie on the bench. Hope the ride is working right.
Have you looked at a carnie lately? Well let's just say they can be some scary looking dudes. Missing teeth, looking and smelling like they haven't showered in a month, stringy hair and yes the attention span of a cocker spaniel. I will discuss one ride in particular. The Scrambler! At the Darke County Fair the Scrambler operator used to be the same guy for years. I remember this because he would stand on the edge just enough to let the cars get within an inch or two of him and he would hit them as you passed by. This year there were two gentlemen carnies working the ride. The normal ride is usually three to five minutes depending on the size of the line. The group before us rode for twelve minutes. WOW! I know what you are thinking "How did that happen?" Well guess what I am going to tell you. Once the ride began one of the guys stepped outside the fenced area to smoke a cigarette while the other chatted up some heffer who looked like a bit of jail-bait to me anyway. With that I will just make one statement, JUST SAY NO TO INBREEDING! Thank you. Let me know what you think in the comments below and stay tuned for tomorrow as Fair Week continues.  Thanks and please subscribe.
