I heard a few complaints this morning about the Christmas in the Park event in San Jose. One particularly fatal flaw of the event was that there was a ferris wheel and some other carnival rides. This may not seem like a problem to you, but apparently, ferris wheels attract gang members. And, of course, the gang members bring out the police officers, which does something to hurt the whole family atmosphere of the soiree. Anyway, I just had no idea that ferris wheels attracted gang members. This is the conversation I imagine:
Gangsta 1: "Yo Dog, I heard they got a ferris wheel over at Christmas in the Park."
Gangsta 2: "No way. You be trippin'."
Gangsta 1: "Yeah, I was thinking we should go over there, take a couple rides, pick up some honeys."
Gangsta 2: "Yeah, I heard that new chick's going to be there; I know she'd get with me if I showed her I could handle myself on a ferris wheel."
Okay, I'm sorry, that was probably the worst bit of dialogue I have ever written. (I know, I know, VBG, I ought to be better at that gangster lingo with the music I listen to, but what can I say?) But seriously, do gang members really like ferris wheels that much? Or do middle class fathers of two mistake what is really attracting the gang members to the party?

There are no ferris wheels here so you can come and visit and feel safe. BTW you can leave me comments now. It's all fixed.
