Pardon me, please

We worked at a food booth at our local Fourth of July carnival. Our booth was the first of many on the path/lane of booths, so we were able to witness many things. In no particular order, here are some things that we saw:

• People put their lawn chairs across the entryway to the food lane, thus blocking the traffic. They just wanted to see the folks that walked around the midway.
• Tiny babies being lugged around without carrier or stroller. One dad wrapped his arm around the baby's stomach and did not support his head.
• Nudity! A friend's husband came after a 13 year absence from the carnival. Bet he received culture shock.
• Food galore--you had your choice of elephant ears, ice cream, sandwiches, chicken and noodles, nachos, tenderloin, tacos in a bag, satibabi, lemonade, cheesecake on a stick, spaghetti, and numerous desserts.
• Older men with younger women, older women with younger men, pre-teens panting after the opposite sex, etc.
• Old friends.
• Carnival workers who travel and carnival workers from our own town. (I didn't buy from some of those booths because of the workers.)
• A ferris wheel with missing carts and with carts missing parts.
• The best fireworks display ever given in our town.
