to try to win something? Were you successful?
I once jumped in a dunk tank full of jello for a chance to win a car. The dunk tank was full of little ping pong balls that had numbers on them. After all of the contestants got a ball with a number the judges picked a number and whoever had the corresponding ping pong ball won the car. I didn't win but it was worth a shot even though I HATE jello and was a complete sticky mess afterwards. You should have seen the way everyone was hosed off and wet afterwards.
