[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (7 children) The glass makes it look like a dunk tank. permalink fedilink source hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 6 months ago When I was a kid, my grandpa sold souvenirs at fairs to supplement his retirement, and he was at the NY State Fair every year, right at the opening to the Midway. That was where they plunked the first dunk tank that anyone had every seen. I spent the fair that year watching this mean clown insult everybody, trying to make them mad so they'd throw wildly. He was great at it, and I saw many an angry guy try to teach that clown a lesson for humiliating them in front of their girl. That clown was also viciously racist, so when you mentioned the dunk tank, all I could imagine was the Pope screaming crazy racist stuff to get people to throw shit at him. permalink fedilink source parent [–] StillAlive@piefed.world 4 points 6 months ago Gen 1 guild navigator permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago i just had the worst idea permalink fedilink source parent [–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (3 children) I mean, Jesus was like the OG escape artist permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago (2 children) Yeah, but unfortunately he fatally failed on his last trick.
