Default I\'m Crying Tears of Joy

Last Saturday night I was using my cellphone outside of a diner when I noticed what looked like an arcade across the street.

I was confused (there aren't really any arcades in my town)so I tryed to see what games they had through the window.

The owner came out and introduced himself to me.

Here's the deal:

Open Wed-Sat from 4-11pm.

$5.00 admission, you can play ANY of the video games for free for as long as you wish. Pinball machines are $.25 per game.

It was 10:40 when I showed up, and since he saw how excited I was he let me play for 20 minutes for free.

I'm overcome with joy because now it's Wed.

But, a regular kid's parents (the one with the disposable income) will be much more apt to drop $5 to keep a kid entertained for hours on end, as opposed to the actual cost of paying per game for hours on end.

I don't know if kids do, but a 21 yr old is about to in approx. 4 hours.
