Have you ever won anything at a carnival, arcade or midway game?
i never won anything "big" but i did win something at a county fair in the mid '80s. i can't remember the game specifically but i seem to recall throwing a softball and knocking over a stack of metal bottles. it may have been a different game though, but i do remember thinking my prize sucked at the time. there were huge stuffed animals hanging around and when the guy handed me a small metal stick, i was confused and asked why i didn't get one of the big bears.
apparently, i had to "win a few games" to get one. i won a paper fan instead.
i was so upset that i'd been duped and vowed to never play any other games. well, not without asking about the rules.
the funny thing is, after all this time, i still have the fan...
