Exactly. Think of it this way, if the owner charges the average $5 a beer for fairs, he would have to sell 5000 beers in an hour. That's 83 beers a min.

The average cup at fairs are 16oz.
there are on average 124 beers(1984oz) in a keg
to sell 5000 beers you would need 40 kegs.

The Bud tent is open from 8am til midnight(16 hours)

So, either the owner has 640 kegs laying around somewhere or he is fabricating what he claims.

I'm sorry that the little exchange between myself and HD went entirely over your head.

Never mind.

Why is it that you seem to have a familiarity with certain quantities that the rest of us don't?

Because Paul Ryan taught him math.

You have been missing the ball all day and the above is simply more of you failing to answer simple questions, nothing new there.

This isn't the first time The One has done that, either. I wouldn't allow him to use my tent for a campaign meeting if I were the man.

Somehow that man thinks he can spend taxpayers' money for anything and then come into places like that one and cost the taxpayer all that money having a campaign appearance.

Yet another fine example of Obama destroying the private business sector.

So you don't know how long the Secret Service closes the place down and then has to check all the people coming around later and then keeps it closed down for The One to get out.

Give some thought to that and maybe you can see it. My aunt ran a beauty shop in a hotel in Abilene, Ks back when Eisenhowere came to town too often and the Secret Service used her storeroom as a headquarters. She was often shut down for two or more days while they checked out every nook and cranny and Eisenhower was a popular President in his home town.
