Small hands. Smells like cabbage.

Never convicted.
Woo hoo! Two out of three!

tiny hands

Obama voters ... we caint vote ... we're all felons.

Dude. They're CARNIES. Can't you let 'em have this one thing? Geez.

Why is it a pre-requisite for a carnie worker to not have all his fingers and have a definite limp? Smarmy/creepy dudes

You think your better than me?

Carnies stole my dingo.

oops, missed small hands in the Boobies. I've always wanted to start a fast food chain that serves only carnival food, so you can get it all year 'round! I imagine I would have most of my "restaurants" located in the south, maybe upper midwest as well.

/look out jack n da box

Carnies are Rennies without the appreciation for history.

Management ain't gonna be happy.

haha, small hands in the Boobies!

If you are a carnie worker then yes dammit. Gawd I have to be above someone.

As the son of a former Carnie I must inform everyone that; You stay the hell away from my cousin she is going to bare my childeren one day.

//Seriously my father did put himself through college working at a travelling carnival. Probably high all the time as well.

Are there any carnival rides out there that were manufactured AFTER 1974? If these things were cars they'd have been taken to the junkyard or museum.

I still love 'kidney kablooey', and 'shake around 'till you puke'. Great rides.

What the hell does this reporter expect? They're farking carnies! I hate to break it to this guy, but you aren't going to find clean, sober, and educated people to either work as temp labor or ride around the country operating carnival rides.

When you are too lazy to do any real journalism, just go find an easy target. It worked for Dateline.

Wait, what?

Newsflash: smoking pot is not going to deter you from being a safe operator, especially since a habitual smoker is going to be quite used to the effects. They're operating the Tilt a Whirl, not the freakin' Space Shuttle.

You say that now, until the Yo-Yo falls over, and you hear squishy "THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!" sounds as it flings riders face first into the ground.

/the mental image alone was worth all the typing.

I like the fact that "Inside edition" is trying to "protect" people with their report. Why would they let these people continue to put others in jeopardy, knowing they were unfit to ensure the safety of the ride? If I filmed the murder/ dui crash of someone I knew to be intoxicated, I would be just as guilty.
Farking jackoffs!

This. Completely totally this. I'm MORE concerned that the carnies couldn't tell the reporter wasn't carnie material.

Quite frankly, I LOL'd.
/carnival food rocks
//all the calories you never knew you needed

Anyone wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a dead clown is all right by me.

I'm a recovering corndog-aholic, so I agree...

Whatever, it's not rocket surgery or anything.

Americans in general need their drugs. that's what happens when a corrupt society whose government is owned by big business need chemicals to escape/cope with their situation.

smells_like_meat: I worked as a carnnie in the 70's. Let me assure you that there are not a more bookish & responsible group of people on the planet.

The safety and education of your minor children are paramont in their minds,always.

I remember many nights discussing, Aristotle, Satre, and Rand with my fellow carnnies.

But the small hands and the smell of cabbage was too much to bear, so I left.

How much meth did you go through a night?

duh ... well You don't think the rides on their own are scary do ya?

doctorwormwood: duh ... well You don't think the rides on their own are scary do ya?

Perhaps not, but a grown man isn't supposed to piss himself from fright in kiddy-land.

I know a district court judge who was a Carnnie. It all sorts of stories to tell about it.

I, for one, am not worried. I'm sure that the "carnie code" that these carnival folk live by will serve them well into the foreseeable future, preventing a return to the life of crime they came from.

Sure, some of them may be ratlike in appearance, and have a foul odor, but carnival folk built this country - the carnival part of it anyway - and we should all be proud to sit alongside them on the tilt-a-wheel.
