I always think of this reality like waking up everyday in one of those carnival shooting galleries where you sit and watch for crap to pop up that you really have to shoot or else........And there is usually some kind of more compounding Hell if you miss the shot. Rarely is there a teddy bear..........

I'm glad I had a little bit of time after I ate before I read this because my guts were in spasm from laughing.

When I learned that the carnival games were all rigged I refused to play as a teenager. The windage is off on the rifles so if you were a sharpshooter you were intended to miss.

and Oh Lawdy, what they done did to da Teddy Bare!

Just like the Monarch and the Rainbow and all the rest that they turned into MK triggers now the TB is everywhere although I don't know what they embedded for it to condition people too.

But I read you. There's no prize at the end of even the best performance in this carnival carnage.

Cheers.

My father always considered jobs like this to be under the Law of Sod.
