    in response to these absolutely ridiculous comments, i have never been to a carnival , and with there motto fun, fair, and friendly you never expect a legal business to openly scam you and work in unicin with other workers to take your money . so yes i may have been naive to the concept of carny scams but being that it was a legal ligitament business i wasnt looking for it there . so for once in my life i wasnt looking for it, they smooth talked me to the fullest extent and blantenly lied to me convincing me i would get all my $ back plus prize and x box . then asked if once i got all my money back would i tip him out well.THIS IS AN AABSOLUTLY UNACCEPTABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE IN NH. IT IS ILLEGAL IMMORAL AND AN OUTRIGHT SCUMBAG MOVE. so for all the ladies and gentlmen supporting this type of buisness practice,this is not foxwood,nor a gambling resort.this is a childrens carnavle.i might have had the extra means to get further in with these conmen,but these scams r designed for swindeling ur child out of there summer job savings so it dont take a rocket scientist to figure that these ciomments r coming from these carnys tthat pulled these scummy scams,freinds their of.or just didnt consider the fact that ur neice or nephew,son or daughter could ,would,or just became the next person to lose it all under completly false pretenses.so i look forward to hearing people defend this scummy behavior.have a good day ladies and gentlmen

    Poor guy. Poor dumb guy. Don't know which is the dumber move...losing all your money in a kiddie carnival shell game, or crying to the media about it. I'm would imagine that the people that knew him before this mess never figured him for the sharpest tack in the box, but now, he will forever be known as an all-out idiot.
    I kind of feel bad for the guy...but I'm still gonna use the banana smilie! :banana:

    David :yup:

    :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::grpnanadance::grpnanadance::grpnanadance::rofl::grpnanadance::grpnanadance::grpnanadance::banana::banana:Okay, we may be overdoing the banana thingie. But there may never be another time like this. :banana: I do feel sorry for the guy and he made some good points about how shady the operation was.
    But for me it wasn't my first carnival and I don't play those games of chance....especially when there is little chance of winning.
    And last time I looked around we didn't need any giant stuffed goofy lookin bananas. :banana:

    WARNING----- If you stare at these bananas long enough you may go bananas!:banana:

    Wifey and I got married in January, 1974. Around June or July of that year(?), we decided to take a little vacation - to Las Vegas. Never been there up to that point. We didn't have much money to spend, and my '69 T-Bird sucked the gasoline like a bottomless pit. Not being very 'experienced' with the ways of Vegas, we got (legally) scammed at a 'show' in Circus Circus. You bid some outrageously low amount on a few items early in the show, and a luck few got some decent stuff. By then, auction fever had taken over the crowd, and the gifts that you thought were great turned out to be no-name brand cra*...... I think we spent $20 for some sort of electric shaver that didn't.

Didn't have enough money so she convinced me to drive all the way home and back to get it out of my sock or coffee can ...whatever! 50 years later and I don't think she ever got that POS sewing machine to sew. Made by the same company that made your razor. :biglaugh:At least we didn't get stuck with a giant banana!:banana::grpnanadance:

    It says "I'd Hit It"....ummm, I am trying really nicely to be mature about this but I'm sorry I just can't. We have a 27 year old youngster at work and everytime a nice young lady walks by, that is his reply so I am crying again, laughing trying to explain this to you. I am even a little embarrassed telling you but it's just the immaturity of guys. :oops:
