When Carl the carpenter got a job caring for the carousel at the carnival, he was so happy he did a cartwheel. On the morning of his first day on the job, he ate a hearty breakfast filled with carbohydrates because his boss had told him that his first task would be to repair a couple of statues on the ride, namely the caribou and the cardinal.

She was grateful and in turn gave him a carnation to wear on his shirt lapel. (Score: $140)
