Alvin was a ticket taker at the local fair. He stood in his booth taking customers' tickets with a smile, but the carnies kept poking him from behind. Having had enough, Alvin finally screamed at the top of his lungs, frightening the little girl in line with her mother.
The mother stared at Alvin, appalled, then whacked him in the face with her purse and walked away with her crying daughter. The carnies were rolling on the ground laughing behind Alvin. He turned around glaring at them, then felt a slimy substance on his face. He felt it and discovered it was egg albumen. Evidently the lady's purse had been filled with raw eggs.
The carnies laughed even harder, while Alvin simply stepped out of his booth, grabbed his jacket and began walking home. Mr. Beauford, the ring leader, called to him saying he'd be fired if he walked away. Alvin said nothing, and kept walking. It didn't matter to him, he never wanted to see those carnies again.
