Note- the following article is almost entirely fictional. Do not believe this story. It is specifically made for entertainment purposes.
In a small town much like our own, there lived a little boy. This boy was a strapping young lad with an ambition for attaining goals. Ever since his first visit to the annual carnival that passed through his town, he realized that he wanted to profess in the art of running the "Tilt-A-Whirl". This ride fascinated him and made him itch with eagerness to pursue his dreams in this field.
However, when telling his family of these occupational dreams of his, they shunned him. He became an outcast in his own community. Fortunately, he had told his parents all of this while the carnival was in town. After begging hour upon hour, the staff of "Grubby Rides, Inc." welcomed him with open arms.
After many years, the job in which he once thought to be Heaven turned out to be the job from Hell. He realized after ten long years that his time as a carnie was near its close. He bid farewell to his friends, his run-down camper, and twelve teeth.
He then faced a grueling decision. Now that he was no longer a carnie, what occupation should he become involved with. For hours and hours he pondered giving this problem his full attention. Finally, he decided to plant himself in the world of electronics.
As luck would have it, the electronics world rocketed to the top. This, of course, was mainly due to the company in which he began entitled "Microsoft". Bill Gates, a Tilt-A-Whirl fanatic, had finally found his way to fortune.
From this story, many valuable lessons can be learned. If we, the American people, continue to tear down the circus-folk, then we may regret these actions in later years. Let's all do these kind, unsanitary people a big favor; let's be kind to them in return. Who knows? It may pay off in the long run!
