Complete Idiot

 

Collins

The ticket booth was empty.

"I guess it's free today."

When he entered the fairgrounds, a man chasing him yelled, "Ticket, ticket!"

He explained that he did try to buy a ticket.

The man waved his hand dismissively.

"How many?"

He replied, "One."

The man looked at him. "Now you must pay for two."

"Two?! Why?"

"Because I say so."

Wrong answer, he thought. "Do you have a death wish?"

The man blinked.

"Give me one ticket."

The man gave him one ticket and charged him for two.

Good thing there was a loose plank right next to the booth.
