The Vending Machine
Published Jan 01, 1900
A goober is at a local zoo and comes across a vending machine, which she has never seen before. She sees the slot for money, gets money out of her purse, puts 65 cents into the machine, and pushes a letter and a number. She is mesmerized by the coils turning just enough to let out the candy. She does this many more times. After a little while, a man comes up behind her and says, "Miss, could you please move? I would like to get some candy." She replies, "Excuse me?! Can't you see I'm winning here?!?!"
