Feast Yourself to a Free Ride

Now Six Flags is feeling the wrath of all that is PETA. Check out the story for yourselves, then decide... "Would I be up to the task for four "Fast-Lane" passes? " Perhaps, but perhaps not. It depends on a lot of factors:

1. How hungry I was that day
2. How busy the park was
3. How big and squishy the bug was
4. The precise definition of 'eating'
5. If a 'reversal of fortune' is allowed
   
6. The phase of the moon.

I believe both sides make valid arguments for why or why not this is an issue, but I just wonder... Aren't there bigger fish to fry?

Automated Teller Magic

Some people get all the luck. This never happens at my ATM. What a sweet deal. One times the effort, four times the payoff. I'd be interested in what the conversation went like when this was reported.

PATRON: "Uhm... yeah, I just wanted to let you know your ATM just gave me four times the money I asked for."

EMPLOYEE: "Oh really? Hmmm... Thanks, we'll look into it."

PATRON: "Don't I get some sort of reward or something?"

EMPLOYEE: "Sounds like you already did. Come to think of it, why aren't you over there getting more 'reward' right now? As a matter of fact, why not just go deposit that extra money, come back here, withdraw a little bit more cash, deposit the extra money, deposit a little more cash... wash, rinse, and repeat. Then see how long this goose keeps laying golden eggs."

PATRON: "Oh, hadn't thought of that. Wouldn't that be like stealing?"

EMPLOYEE: "Let's see... you ask for $20 and get $80. $20 of which are taken out of your account, $60 of which are available without charge for you to deposit. You then ask for those $60 and get $240. All of which are free. Sounds like a buy 1 get 3 deal to me. It might be 'like' stealing, but it's not. It's compound interest baby."

PATRON: "Oh, hadn't thought of that."

EMPLOYEE: "Well, thanks for letting me, I mean us know. Like I said before, we'll look into it."

It's Corntastic!

It's always good to see a community united in a common purpose, banding together to celebrate a shared experience, friends and family joining to commemorate a momentous occasion. It's even better when that banding together is for a town's 150th anniversary, and people actually care. It's best of all when said celebration involves a 16-acre corn maze.

Now it is possible for all those visiting Nebraska to simply enter the state, see nothing but corn, and leave. Oh wait, that was already the case, wasn't it?

Good Luck Columbus, and Happy Birthday while I'm at it.
