Ring toss at county fair

At the annual county fair, the ring toss game was getting the most attention. Everyone had tried repeatedly but could not win the prize which was a real horse. Of course with such high stakes people were trying repeatedly.

An hour or so into this, a drunk wandered in. Looked around, waited his turn and on his first casual toss won the big prize.

People were shocked and dismayed. There was a huddle and the prize committee decided that since the guy was so drunk it must have been a fluke and they figured he didn’t know better and he wouldn’t complain so they gave him a turtle as a prize - he squinted at it barely able to focus, said “Cool!” and staggered off.

Everyone continued their efforts but after another hour the prize was still champing at the bit so to speak. Back comes our hero, just as sozzled as before, staggers up to the mark, can barely focus and just as casually as before, tosses the ring and does it again!!!

“Well he must be genuinely good” think the committee and decide to give him the real prize this time.

There’s a big hoopla and the drunk staggers on stage not knowing why - they announce the prize and hand him the reins of the horse to loud applause.

He’s puzzled, looks at the horse and then asks the head judge - “A horse??? Can’t you just gimme a big burger, like last time?”
