A couple years ago, my wife and I spent a day at the Iowa State Fair. We spent most of the day people watching, which is a secret joy of mine, but I was also able to squeeze in a turkey leg and a large lemonade. While wandering the grounds, we happened upon a dunk tank. Now anyone of Midwest origin knows what a dunk tank is. The dunk tank is a staple of midwestern county fairs. But hold on Jack, something was seriously wrong with this setup. Every dunk tank I’ve seen in my life involved throwing baseballs at the bullseye target.
