Subject:


A man in a state of excessive inebriation rolled up at a fairground rifle
range booth and threw down the necessary money. The booth operator at first
refused to let him have a turn, considering that his inebriated state would
endanger the public. But the drunk insisted and was given a gun.

He aimed unsteadily in the general direction of the target and after tying
to focus, pulled the trigger three times. The booth owner, on inspecting the
target, was astonished to see that he had scored three bullseyes. The star
prize for the evening was a large set of glassware, but the showman was
certain that the drunk wasn't aware of what he had done, and gave him
instead a consolation prize, a live turtle. The drunk wandered off into the
crowd.

An hour or so later he came back, even more drunk than before. Once again
the showman demurred, but once again the drunk insisted, and once more
scored three bullseyes and was given another turtle.

Eventually the drunk rolled up again and insisted on a third attempt.

Once more he picked up the rifle, waved it around in the general direction
of the target, and pulled the trigger three times. Once more he had scored
three bullseyes. But this time there was an onlooker with good eyesight.

"That's fantastic", the man said. "Hasn't he scored three bulls?"

The showman, cursing his luck, made a play of going over to the target and
inspecting it closely.

"Yes Sir!" , he announced to the crowd. "This is fantastic! Congratulations,
sir, you have won the star prize, this magnificent 68-piece set of
glassware"

"I don't want any bloody glasses", the drunk replied. "Give me another one
of those delicious crusty meat pies".
