cool stories so far. Love it.

Another one that got me on this kick had to do with the way promos go, or, shall I say, things like "if you do X, we will give you Y" and how at the end of the day, many companies fail to deliver.

I was maybe 12 and we all used to take a group bus trip to a place by the beach in MA called Paragon Park. It had this wild old roller coaster and of course all the olde tyme rides and attractions that would have been around such places in the 70s.

I was standing at this booth where you had to put a nickle on a colored block on a table and when the guy spun the wheel, if your color came up he would give you the prize.

I quickly realized that the value of said prizes was far greater than the 10 nickles that I could spread across the board. I mean, hey, it said NOTHING about NOT being able to do that!

I did it twice til the guy was like, Ok kid, geddoudda heah!

Darn scammer! he should have (like so many mile and point related entities we all often fight with and report about in here) designed a better program and more clearly stated his rules!

I did walk with two big stuffed animal somethings.
