Waddle Goes to the Fair and Learns Something that he is not Supposed to While he is There

Like the title proclaimed our little friend Waddle did go to the fair, and he did learn something that he wasn't supposed to while he was there. Despit how much fun the fair is, the pull of all things automotive was too strong for Waddle to resist, and he started his quest to find something automotive. He was orriginally hoping to find some kind of dirt-track racers, but alas no he did not find anything of that sort. But in his desperation he came upon a large Toyota Tundra setup and since his hatred for Toyota he had to go over and do his thing. After looking at all the trucks that they had there, he decided to talk with a salesman to see how much he knew. Waddle was hoping to talk to one of the official-looking people with the nice polo shirts, but he had to settle with the cowboy looking guy with a rub-on tatoo on his arm. Waddle decided to get strait to the point and asked the salesman about one of the comercials that was playing on an anoyingly loud, high-def, big screen TV. Waddle already knew that the comercial was rigged, and the wording had to be very specific in order to be true. Waddle then changed the wording, to the wrong that most people understood it as, and asked the salesman about it. The salesman completely skirted around the question, and used a bunch of random facts to make it seem like he had an answer, even though he didn't. Waddle understood all that he was saying even to the point of hearing the contradictions that he spurted out. Waddle then figured that he can't get a strait answer on any of the many flaws of the Tundra, so he moved on to what was probably more important questions. Waddle then asked him about the rumored heavy-duty versions of the Tundra that Toyota has been trying to hide. To his suprise the salesman went strait to the point and told Waddle that Toyota had told him that they are going to make the heavy-duty versions of the Tundra. After discovering how lose lipped he was Waddle decided to get some specifics of the heavy-duty trucks. Waddle learned that Toyota will make a 1ton diesel version, but no 3/4 ton version. The 3/4 ton will be made up for by a factory or dealer installed supercharger for the horsepower and torque increase. The salesman was so confident in the fact that Toyota would be doing all this that he was telling people to go to their local dealership and reserve theirs today. So even though there was no motorsport related stuff, Waddle did have a good time uncovering what he could, and he is already thinking of what he can get from some unsuspecting salesman next year.
