    Default A Whistler As A Prize in one of those Arcade Games

    I can't believe I never posted this..i completely forgot...i found this hilarious, im sry if u dont

    i was driving on the highway going to a championship soccer game but w.e....we decided to stop at an 'oasis' which if u dont know is like a rest stop but is like a mini-mall(it has like 10 different restaraunts, bathrooms, and whatever) and as we are walking over to panda express i look and see one of those arcade games where you have to stop the cycling lights on the one light bulb in the middle..and as i look closer, i see this as one of the prizes


    im sorry but I almost ROFL'd..i had to take a picture

    You pay a 1/4 for something thats 40 dollars - sounds like a good trade

    Although your odds kinda suck.

    LOL, that's at least a half-competent detector. It's no performance king by any means but plenty to get by.

    LOL, that is so funny!

    With all the quarters you'd pump trying to win it, you could probably go out and buy one brand new that's not refurbished. :P

    I saw a Sony PSP in one of these machines once... couldn't believe it. $250 item.

    What's worse is that those machines don't even take quarters. They take DOLLAR amounts. By the time you win(and i'm not saying it's possible) you'll be out more than that thing is worth. :roll:

    And then on the brighter side...I hear glass breaks pretty easy. You could sell it on ebay. It might do better if you sell it as an RMR or Cobra though. Those people will pay big buck for anything.
