Ring toss at county fair
Posted by nborwankar@reddit | Jokes | View on Reddit | 20 comments
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?”

That was me. I won the horse.
But I never learned to ride him. I just couldn't get him to stop. Whoa is me.

That's because it isn't funny. Not at all.

I’d have told someone to use it for turtle soup. And make it snappy.

He was so drunk he thought the turtle was a burger.

Is ... That a thing?
mamaknits@reddit
No, you're just supposed to be horrified at the mental image of someone eating a live turtle

I have follow up questions about his prior dental work
mamaknits@reddit
Also his subsequent dental work 😆

Guy must have gone out and ate it.

The first time the drunk won they gave him a turtle. He mistook it for a burger, hence he asked for the big burger when he won the 2nd time.

It used to be, a hard crust pie.
