Lunch Tickets!

So, the County Fair (which starts Sunday) has foolishly undertaken to issue "lunch tickets" Monday through Friday. Ich freude mich! These are $5, and are sold from 11am until 1pm. If you leave before 2pm, you get your $5 back. The theory is that store clerks, etc, will come and eat lunch at the Fair, thereby generating revenue. They may well do so, but for moral reprobates such as myself, that's $5 admission to the Fair (normally $8), or, if I'm willing to consume the Fair in 3-hour chunks at mid-day (in some ways the best time to attend an agricultural fair), it's free!
