I visited a carnival one time and walked around looking at the games. I stopped at the ring toss -where the objective is to get a ring on a coke bottle- and stood thinking about whether or not I should play. I knew carnival games were sucker bets so I hesitated, watching other players toss away 5, 10, 20 dollars for ring upon ring. I was about to leave when I saw a bucket full of played rings on the counter. The worker was busy shoveling up other rings that fell on the floor and didn't notice that he had left it there. I swiped 3 rings off the top and the first one I tossed landed perfectly. I walked away with a stuffed clown fish bigger than me, and was the envy of other kids everywhere.
