An old guy at a County Fair had too much to drink. As he was staggering around a fair, barely able to stand and walk, he decided to try the baseball throwing booth to break plates. The guy behind the booth thought he was an easy mark, and happily took the man’s money and handed him 6 baseballs to throw. But then, the drunk, barely able to stand, accurately threw the 6 balls and broke 6 plates.
The vendor was flabbergasted, but gave the drunk a live turtle as the prize. The drunk took it and staggered away.
Three hours later, the drunk was back. This time he slurred every word, couldn’t see straight, struggled to hold his head up, and fell down several times as he staggered to the baseball throwing booth. He fell, but pulled himself up to the booth’s counter; plopped down his money and asked for 6 baseballs. The vendor thought the drunk was now way too incapacitated to hold, let alone throw a baseball accurately with enough power to break a plate. So, he happily took the man’s money. Then, just like before, bam! The drunk rifled off 6 throws and broke 6 plates.
The vendor was so amazed, that he got the biggest stuffed animal prize and handed it to the drunk.
The drunk looked at it questioningly, then handed it back to the vendor and said, “No, I don’t want this. Give me another one of those crunchy pies.”
