I went to pick up some food at a restaurant this past Sunday. While waiting for someone to notice me at the counter, I saw this cute mechanical toy. I figured that it was da kine that a coin gets sensed and then stolen like this one on Amazon. I thought that it was a pretty sly way to get some tip money, but I was curious so I took the bait.
I put a dime in front of the penguin. Nothing happened. I put it on the narrow table in the front of the device. Nothing happened. I put the dime halfway into the slot just above the table. Nothing happened. I pushed the dime all the way into the slot. Nothing happened. I felt all around the contraption to see if maybe there was an on/off switch.
By this time a girl came to the counter to help me. I said, "Does this thing not work?" She said, "You gotta lift up the top." I said, "Wha? You lift up the top?"
I lifted up the top.
It wasn't a mechanical anything. It was a toothpick holder.
And it stole my dime.
