Fun at the Fair
Jennifer and I spent much of yesterday at the Evergreen State Fair. It has been so long since we took time out to go to a fair! (All right, it's been ten weeks.) Maybe we'll go to the Puyallup next month. I don't know if it's all worth it... after all, a fair is pretty much a fair, but it is fun. We rode a couple rides and walked around looking at exhibits, cows, etc.
We sat down to watch a dog show. We got some cotton candy and a big Pepsi. We watched judges judge a giant cow, who promptly walked by me and scared me to death. We walked through chickens and rabbits, ducks and pigs. We rode on the Zipper (and Jennifer didn't throw up!) We took a romantic spin on the Ferris Wheel. We looked at cars and spas. We sat down and watched a man try to sell us his cookware. ("We all want to eat healthy! I know you do! That's why you came here today!" No, actually I came here to eat greasy disgusting fair food and then throw it up after being turned upside down multiple times.)
As there often is at these events, we came upon a booth there that claimed to answer whether or not I was going to heaven in two simple questions. The key with this little game is the second question is a trick question... there is no right answer. The real answer is long and tedious, and involves you reading a prayer out loud. I just want a simple "yes" or "no."
Last time, back in 2002, the man asking me the questions told me "I'm sorry, you're wrong. None of these are the right answers," to which I loudly proclaimed "Oh, great, I'm going to hell!" The other people in the booth looked very concerned and upset. I walked away from him, and he tried to convince Jennifer that I could be saved, that she needed to work on me.
But yesterday the old woman working the counter was polite and non-pushy. She did react a little surprised when I asked her "If none of those answers were right, wasn't it a trick question." But in general she was too nice to be mean to. Then I would have REALLY gone to hell!
All in all we had a very good time. This is the time of year many people go to the fair. I'd suggest you do too. If you're dating or married, take your honey. If you're not, there's a lot of young, single people there! A lot of those rides require two people. Volunteer my friend, volunteer!
