This my friends… is a sad, but true story.

Seriously.  I found it in the ‘Only in America’ Section of THE WEEK.  (  http://theweek.com/  )

It seems this guy…. a New Hampshire man, to be exact….  lost his life savings on a carnival game.  Here is the deal.  He tried in vain to win the grand prize…. which was of all things….. an Xbox Kinect.

The guy’s name is Henry Gribbohm.  He is 30 years old, according to the report.  Old Henry, was playing a game called “Tubs of Fun,” in which you throw balls into tubs.

He must not have been a very good shot….  as it turns out…. he quickly lost $300.  As if that wasn’t enough.  He then went home to get the rest of his life savings — which he subsequently lost.

All told, Gribbohm lost $2,600 and according to the news report… he was left with only a stuffed banana.

Sometimes life is hard.  Like a lone monkey on an empty road… who would absolutely kill for a stuffed banana.  You win some.  You lose some.
