Carnival
“Step right up!” Hollared the Carney, standing in front of his booth. “Everyone’s a winner here!”
A few approached and tossed the dollar bills his way. They took their rings and — without the slightest idea of the futility of it — began to play the ring tossing game. Another few suckers down. Now a million left to go. The people moved on and were coerced into other games – some possible to win, others a gip. Most people, in the end, simply settled on the cotton candy. You could never really go wrong with the cotton candy, no matter what carnival you were at.
