Humor Me

Remember when Wheel of Fortune made its contestants spend their winnings on prizes such as gaudy furniture, overpriced electronics and ceramic Dalmations?

The contestants of yesterday shopping in those "showcases" is much like kids of today shopping with tickets they win at family amusement centers. It certainly was recently when my son won big at one of the amusement centers.

That's part of what today's Humor Me column is about.
