You've got to really like cotton candy...

so the bank where i work had a booth at the anderson county fair a few weeks back. my friend kristina and i worked it the last nite, which was a saturday. after we finished handing out snowcones to the massive crowds of white trash and rednecks, we decided we were hungry. she and i wanted some cotton candy real bad and she also wanted to take some home to her mom. we walked up to where the guy was selling it, and he told us and the gal in front of us that it would be a few ninutes before it was ready. we decided to wait, thinking about how wonderful the spun sugar would taste. a minute or two passes, and it is ready. he puts his hand (no gloves or stick) directly into the candy and spins it up into a ball. he places it in a plastic bag and hands it to the girl in front of us. as our mouths are watering in anticipation for the stuff, he proceeds to glance at his hands, realize they are sticky, AND PUTS HIS FINGERS IN HIS MOUTH AND LICKS THE COTTON CANDY OFF OF THEM!!!!! i looked at kristina in disbelief, wondering if she has seen this, and she has..so we say to one another, "let's see if he washes his hands, or at least uses hand sanitizer..and of course he didn't. so needless to say we didn't have any cotton candy, but it was ok with us!! i thought later i should of said something to him because there were folks behind us but i didn't. hope he wasn't sick!!!

Oh, he was sick alright! Man, that's messed up. The helth inspectors should follow that guy around. Somebody call the CDC! Sorry you gals didn't get your sugar fix:(.
