Puzzle Time! June 27 - July 3 (VOTING Time!)

[ScottDoom]

PUZZLE TIME

Rules: Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and lack of mental health; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For this Puzzle Time contest, you can only start with 5 items (which can be your items), and you must use at least 8 items to solve the scenario.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall commence!

What If I win?: The winner chooses the next scenario and list of items.

Scenario: You're traveling across the country in 1845 with your horse, and you pass through a small trading outpost. You become enemies with Henry, a local man, because you flirted with his woman. After traveling past the town, you awake to find that your horse has been stolen.

You go back to the town, and you have to find your horse, and steal Henry's woman.

Items:
Revolver
2 bullets
Short rope
Long rope
Hook
One match
Axe
Chewing tobacco
Poison
Bottle o' whiskey
$3 (remember, it's 1845)
Plus 2 items of your choosing.

Go forth and puzzle!

[Chicky]

you fire a revolver bullet into the air and out runs your horse. Judging where the horse came from you can now see where henry is. So you shoot him. Giving all your remaining inventory items to the chick it persuades her to come ride with you...


the end

[ScottDoom]

That's nice. Very creative.   

[Sam.]

okay. yoou mix the poison in with the whisky as a "peace offering" to henry. you then ifnorm him that if he doesn't tell you where your hose is you will not give him the antitode. (one of my extra items) he then tells you where the horse is and you tie him up with the short rope andgive him the anitdote. go and get your horse. cut the long rope into two medium ropes using the axe. tie these to a plank of wood (my other extra item), then tie this contraprion to a tree. you have made a love swing. go to the village store to buy some flowers with your 3 dollars. lay a trail of petals from your womans door to the swing. she will follow the flowers where she will see you on your love swing with a match in the corner of your mouth looking cool. She will fall intsntly in love with you and you will live happily ever after.


phew

[sergiocornaga]

EDIT: I just saw the start off with only 5 items thing. So it's goodbye to revolver, bullets, short rope, tobacco, money and poison(as starting items).

First off, go back to the town.
No actually, put the bullets in the gun first and then go to town.
There are four areas: Saloon, Jail and 2 random house buildings.
Outside the saloon is an old man.
TALK TO old man: "Where the hell's Henry?!"
If neccesary, threaten with poison/hook/revolver/axe/long rope.
old man: "He lives in that random house building over there... the one on the left."
"I used to have a spare key, but I dropped it somewhere in that pile of horse manure."
PICK UP manure pile lying on ground: "I ain't gonna unless I have to!"
Find poison on ground.
USE Axe with Door of random house building on the left:
Sherrif arrests you.
JAIL: Sherrif has left keys on a desk just out of your reach.
He has confiscated your revolver, hook, axe, match, tobacco poison and whiskey.
You can see the hook and your other items on the desk. The sherrif is nowhere to be seen.
Use long rope to make lasoo and use lasoo on keys: "Damn, I can't get 'em!"
Use lasoo with hook: get hook. Make grapling lasoo thing with rope and hook
Use grapling lasoo with keys.
UNLOCK the door and get the rest of your stuff, plus a glove and a flower.
Go outside and use glove with manure to get key
Unlock door to Henry's house.
Henry is busy in the bedroom...it sounds like he's got company...
There is a glass of spirits on a table next to a comfy chair.
Put poison in glass
Disconnect hook from lasoo and put on chair, just in case.
Hide behind convienient curtain and enjoy the fun.
Henry chokes on poison and is impaled on hook...
Give flower to Henry's woman and she will come with you.
Go out back to Henry's stables and get your horse.
Pour whiskey over Henry's dead body and set fire to it with your match.
Ride off into the sunset. Again.

[Chronos]

You hurry back to the town to find your horse.At the entrance you see an old man sitting on floor and ask him if he saw your horse arround, the old man informs you that he saw Henry (the local bartender) taking it to the back of the saloon.As you know Henry won't give it back,you prepare your gun,load the 2 bullets in it and head for the saloon.
You notice that there seems to be a lot of Henry's friends inside so you fix the hook to the long rope and use it to reach the 2nd floor where Henry's girl is being held and start climbing.You hit her at the back of her head while she's asleep and tie her up with the short rope.You then escape from the room the same way you got in,Ã,  put the girl on the horse that was quietly waiting here and start looking arround...
That's when you see something that loooks like an alcoohol barrel, you open it and start spreading the liquid all arround the saloon, but when you are about to fire up your only match, Henry comes out from the salloon with 2 friends holding guns.Henry looks really upset and start aiming at you!
You quickly take you gun and shoot the 2 guys that were close to him.. that's when you hear that annoying sound "clic" meaning your out of bullets!
Henry shoots you in the shoulder, you're now lying on the floor, holding your shoulder ,raging.Henry is making fun of you, he comes closer and closer until he's just above you,he aims at you again... but this time you have the reflex to take an axe that was on the floor(dont ask why and cut his legs off!
You now stand up and laugh at that bastard screaming while he's looking at the cut legs next to him hehe
That wound you got hurts badly so you take the hook and try to extract the bullet out of your shoulder.You use your old whiskey bottle to clean up your wound and get your horse back with the girl on it, giving up your 3 dollars to that poor agonising Henry for his legs =)
Of course you pick up your last match on the floor and light it...look arround a last time...and finally throw it on the floor.

The whole place is slowly burning and turning into ashes as you disappear on the horizon with the girl by your side! You take your tobacco and mix it with some shamanic weed (first bonus item) and roll it with some paper(2nd item) but hey f***! I used my last match!

[Eggie]

Wow. Someone else had the idea of Henry owning a saloon...and burning it down with alcohol. That's a weird coincidence.

Well, here's my entry if you can be bothered to read through it. I got a little...ahem...carried away. Maybe it's because I recently saw Craig Bartlett's 'Party Wagon' or maybe I just have a natural desire for action and historical inaccuracy but the idea of a cartoon cowboy adventure game seems really appealing to me at the moment...

Revolver
Hook
One match
Long rope
Short rope
Axe
Poison
Bottle o' whiskey
$3
Handkerchief (added)
Matchbook (added)

Starts with:

<DIALOG>
You: "HEY!"
Voice: "What?"

WHERE HAS 'MR. HENRY' GONE?
Voice: "..."
You: "Well?"
Voice: "Uh...I dunno...I'll ask him..."

WHO ARE YOU EXACTLY?
Voice: "I am an an-tag-o-nist
You: "Yeah...but what's your reason for being so...antagonising all the time?
Voice: "Well...I had a rough childhood..."
Voice: "I was raised by buffalo's on account of my parents abandoning me when I was a little boy"
(The dialog stops, he continues to say silly things in random order in the background. and doesn't stop until you talk to the bar again or try to get in)
"Then there was that time I was trapped in a burning outhouse. I've been scared of fire ever since"
"And, recently, I fell down into the cellar of this place and broke my little pinkie finger"
"And I sometimes wake up a cold sweat remembering the time I upset Ms. Marysallyannelou and she...I can't talk about it"
"Buffalo's sure are stinky..."
"The fire...fire everywhere! ARRRGHHH!!"
"Did you know you're the first person to ever show me friendship..."
"*thumb sucking*"

You: "I know you stole my horse!!"
You: "Just because Marysallyannelou prefers me is no need for this!"
Voice: "Mr. Henry is not here!"
You: "So you keep saying..."

SO...DO YOU ENJOY YOUR JOB?
Voice: "It's okay. The pay ain't bad and it's fun to hit people in the ear"
Voice: "But I always had my mind set on higher things than this..."
You: "Higher than hitting people in the ear? Is that possible?"
Voice: "I always wanted to be...a LUMBERJACK!"
You: "Why do I have an urge to rip out your teeth when you say that?"
Voice: "I dunno. But I don't recommend you try..."
(The next dialog option is activated only once this has finished)

YOU KNOW...I COULD HELP YOU BECOME A LUMBERJACK...
Voice: "Really?"
You: "Sure. Just come out here. I'll help you realise your dreams if you help me realise mine."
Voice: "And what are your dreams?"
You: "To get in there and get my horse back."
Voice: "Hey! you must think I'm stupid or summat!"
You: "What's 2+2?"
Voice: "Cheddar!"
(The next dialog option is activated only once this has finished)

LOOK, WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET YOU OUT HERE?
Voice: "I dunno. There's very little that can persuade me to move..."
<IF YOU HAVE THE THREE DOLLARS>

Voice: "No..."
</IF>

WELL, I NEED TO GO.
You: "I've got people to see"
You: "Horses to rescue..."
You: "Scores to settle..."
</DIALOG>

LOOK AT HANKERCHIEF
"If you're hankering for a chief...this won't help much. But if you have a cold..."

LOOK AT BOTTLE O' WHISKY
"A bottle of Grog...I mean...Whiskey..."

USE MATCH ON BOTTLE O' WHISKEY
"I value my eyebrows too much"

USE HANKERCHIEF WITH BOTTLE O' WHISKEY
"Okay, I've put the handkerchief in the neck of the bottle"

LOOK AT BOTTLE O' WHISKEY
"I can't explain it...but it looks kind of...menacing with that handkerchief in it."

USE MATCH ON BOTTLE O' WHISKEY
"Okay, I've set my unique, one of a kind, silk handkerchief alight. Happy now?"

LOOK AT BOTTLE O' WHISKEY
"Something tells me I should get rid of this pretty quickly..."

USE BOTTLE O' WHISKEY ON HENRY'S BAR
"I just hope my horse isn't in that room!"
You throw your whiskey bomb into the bar, the windows light up and a huge guy runs out (characters don't count as objects right?) screaming
Man: "FIRE! FIRE!"
You: "Howdy."
Man: "Help me! There's a fire!"
You: "Don't worry, you're safe now."
Man: "Really?"
You: "Yes, mean old Mr.Fire can't get you out here."
Man: "What about Marysallyannelou?"
You: "Henry's girl? What about her?"
Man: "Nuthin'"

LOOK AT MAN
"Aww. He doesn't look so tough..."
"He looks lethal!"

TALK TO MAN/ ENTER HENRY'S BAR
You: "So, since this place doesn't look like it's gonna last much longer. How about quitting this dead end job and letting me through?"
Man: "Oh no. I've been standing around here hitting people in the ear since 1830."
Man: "I'm not giving this job up for nothing or nobody!"
Man: "Or...if something better comes along..."

GIVE AXE TO MAN
You: "Hey, I hope you like buttered scones! 'Cos I've got a surprise for you!"
You give him the axe, he squeals with joy!
Man: "Wow! An axe! And it looks even better than the one I was keeping in that wall for safe keeping!"
Man: "Now I can follow my dreams of being a lumberjack!"
You: "Yay!"
Man: "Yay!"
You: "Yay!"
Man: "Yay!"
You: "So...are you going to let me in?"
Man: "No."

LOOK AT MAN
"That bastard!"

TALK TO MAN/ ENTER HENRY'S BAR
You: "Alright...now what?"
Man: "How do I make a living from being a lumberjack..."
You: "You know I've often wondered that myself..."
You: "Um...I mean. You get commissioned!"
Man: "Commissioned...by who?"
You: "The...um...Society of...uh...Happily...Er...Uhhh...Irritating(?)...Trees...."
You: "S.H.I.T for short!"
Man: "I think life may be too short for that..."
You: "You know...you're a lot smarter than you look..."
Man: "Cheddar!"

GIVE THREE DOLLARS TO MAN
You: "Alright. I'll give you three dollars to go cut down some trees and crap..."
Man: "Yay!"
You: "Yay!"
Man: "Yay!"
You: "Just go!"
Man: "Will do, thanks for helping me achieve my fondest dream."
You: "Yeah yeah"
You start to head over to Henry's Bar
Man: "Aren't you going to come and watch?
You: "No...As much as I'd love to. I've gotta go see a man about a horse!"
You enter Henry's Bar
Man: "It's not the man you need to worry about..."


LOCATION: INSIDE HENRY'S BAR
The room is partially obscured by smoke
"Whew...This fire wasn't one of my better ideas..."
"I'd better find some way to put it out before I suffocate or burn or just get really, really hot..."

LOOK AT HENRY'S BBQ'D BAR
"Whew...I hope Henry's insurance covers this..."
"Actually...I don't! Bwaha!"

LOOK AT ENTRANCE TO CELLAR
Voice: "Neigh!"
You: "I'd know that 'neigh' anywhere! That's my horse!"

ENTER CELLAR
"Flames are surrounding it!"
"I need to stay away from that trapdoor!"

LOOK AT POISON
"It's a bottle sitting the bar."
"Strangely enough it's the only thing the flames aren't anywhere near..."

PICK UP POISON
"Got it."
"It's surprisingly cold to the touch considering all this heat..."

LOOK AT POISON
"There's an oh-so-subtle skull design on this bottle..."
"When they say 'What's your poison' here they're not kidding..."

USE POISON ON ENTRANCE TO CELLAR
You pour the contents of the bottle over the flames
"Hmmn. The flames just vanished. My guess is that this poison uses some form of insulated dry ice that freezes the body of the victim from within and therefore can put out even the hottest and fiercest of whiskey fuelled flames..."
"It sure does pay to be educated..."
"...Most probably..."

ENTER CELLAR
"I'm coming for you, Goldie!"

LOCATION: CELLAR
You see Henry tied to a pole with a long rope...along with your horse
You: "Goldie!"
Goldie: "Neigh!"
You: "Henry..."
You walk all the way down the steps
You: "What happened here, Goldie?"
Goldie: "Neigh!"
You: "Henry had nothing to do with this?"
Goldie: "Neigh!"
You: "I'm in danger?!"
Marysallyannelou is coming up behind you with a revolver
Goldie: "Neigh!"
You: "I'm about to be shot by a...giant bratwurst?"
Goldie: "NEIGH!!"
You: "Gesticulating toothpick?"
Goldie: "NEIGH!!"
Marysallyannelou: "You're going to be shot by Marysallyannelou!"
You: "Ah...that explains a bit."

<DIALOG>
Marysallyannelou: Any last requests?

WELL I'D LIKE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON...
Marysallyannelou: "Oh, it's quite simple. Henry's been a pawn in my plot for some time now."
Marysallyannelou: "This bar is world famous for it's incredible 'fire whiskey'
Marysallyannelou: "Business people from all over have come to try and get their greasy hands on that recipe."
Marysallyannelou: "But NO. Rather than actually make some money, Mr.Morals here keeps the family secret safe and turns down all them rich entrepreneurs in favour of making more tiny little profits in this damn...HOLE!"
Henry: "Mmmmrph rrhhmph"
You: "I didn't know he was gagged..."
Marysallyannelou: "He doesn't. he just sounds like that. Tight-lipped."
Marysallyannelou: "Any way. In the event of his death. I get the recipe in his will and then I can sell it on to the highest bidder!"
Marysallyannelou: "And your horse was the perfect bait for an idiot who can take the fall for the death of Henry Henryson the ninth..."
You: "Who's that then?"
Marysallyannelou: "You! you're the idiot, idiot! You kill him to get your horse back then kill yourself out of guilt!"
You: "Why didn't you just poison him?"
Marysallyannelou: "I thought this might be more fun..."
You: "Fair enough..."
(The next dialog option is activated only once this has finished)

YOU'RE QUITE AN ENTERPRISING GIRL
Marysallyannelou: "SHUT UP!"
You: "Alright...Jeez, can't you take a compliment?"
Marysallyannelou: "Don't ever call me 'girl'. I'm nobody's girl! Understand!"
(The next dialog option is activated only once this has finished)

I'M NOT SURPRISED WITH AN ATTITUDE LIKE THAT...
Marysallyannelou: "I think I will kill you now!"
You: "I love it when you talk homicidal..."
Marysallyannelou: "Silence!"
Marysallyannelou: "Any last requests?"

WELL I'D LIKE TO *WHISPER WHISPER*
Marysallyannelou: "Any OTHER last requests?"
You: "Meh, can't blame a guy for trying..."

WELL I'D QUITE LIKE TO HAVE ONE LAST DRINK
Marysallyannelou: "You burned down our bar..."
You: "Oh yeah, I remember now..."
You: "That was fun..."
Marysallyannelou: "Any last requests?"

WELL...I'D LIKE A CHANCE TO LIVE...PREFERABLY SOMETHING INVOLVING PISTOLS
Marysallyannelou: "Fair enough."
Marysallyannelou: "I guess you've got the right to that."
</DIALOG>

Marysallyannelou walks to the far side of the room
Marysallyannelou: "On the count of three, I'll turn round and if you can shoot the gun out of my hand before I shoot you with deadly accuracy...You and your horse can go..."
You: "Um...That's great but I...uh..don't have a g-"
Marysallyannelou: "3!"
You: "Ahhh!!"
Marysallyannelou: "2!"
You: "Hey, why count down from three when you can count down from three THOUSAND?"
Marysallyannelou: "Well okay, I don't see how it's it gonna make much difference though..."
And thanks the magic of Ints, she does. If she reaches '2' then you say "How about counting down from three thousand again...just for kicks!"

LOOK AT MARYSALLYANNELOU
"She's really pretty when she's psychotic..."

TALK TO MARYSALLYANNELOU
You: "How's it going over there?
Marysallyannelou: "Ack! You made lose my count..."
You: "Oh well, start again. I don't mind..."

LOOK AT GOLDIE
"It's my horse! Tied up with that bit of rope!"

LOOK AT HENRY
"I guess he wasn't so bad after all..."
"..."
"Still a bastard though..."

TALK TO GOLDIE
You: "All in favour of me trying to seduce her say 'aye!'"
Goldie: "Neigh!"

TALK TO HENRY
Henry: "Mrrph grrmph"
You: "You and me both!"

LOOK AT SHORT ROPE
"It was a lot longer before...The incident..."
"Last time I ever try to lasso a porcupine..."

LOOK AT REVOLVER
"The instrument of my death..."

PICK UP REVOLVER
You: "I can't just walk up and take it off her."
Marysallyannelou: "Damn right you can't!"
Marysallyannelou: "Aw, Jeez! You made me lose my count..."

USE SHORT ROPE ON REVOLVER
You: "It's too short..."
You: "I wanna be a safe distance away before I pull something like that..."
Marysallyannelou: "What ARE you talking about?"
Marysallyannelou: "Aw, Jeez! You made me lose my count..."

LOOK AT LONG ROPE
"That's a...long piece o' rope..."

PICK UP LONG ROPE
"It's tied to that pole and I can't find where it ends"

USE HOOK ON LONG ROPE
You struggle with the rope and manage to pull a bit off

LOOK AT LONG ROPE
"Well, I may not have been able to untie my horse..."
"But I did get a mighty nice bit of rope out of the deal..."

USE LONG ROPE ON REVOLVER
You lasso the revolver and point it at Marysallyannelou
You: "Ah ha! The tables have turned! The gun is mine!"
You: "I bet you feel pretty dumb right now don't ya!"
You: "Yeah...I bet you regret ever messing with me!"
You: "I bet...I bet..."
You lower the gun
You: "You don't look too worried..."
Marysallyannelou: "I was just admiring your skill with a lasso.."
You: "Well...I..."
Marysallyannelou walks up to you and stands very close
Marysallyannelou: "Tell me...Can you do anything else with a rope?"
The revolver goes off in your hand, making a hole in the floor
You: "Geehh..Fleeurrgghh..."
Suddenly Marysallyannelou grabs the revolver and points it at you
Marysallyannelou: "You idiot! For that you die RIGHT NOW!"
The huge guy crashes through the ceiling, landing on Marysallyannelou
You: "It's...um...whatever your name is...lumberjack boy..."
You: "I knew you'd come back!"
Man: "Really?"
You: "Actually I'd forgotten all about you..."
You: "But I'm still really grateful..."
The huge guy breaks the pole it was a stick of rock, freeing Goldie and Henry
Man: "You see, I've decided to stand up for myself and rebel! From now on I'm not taking orders from nobody!"
You: "That's beautiful but...Err...I think that pole was HOLDING UP THE WHOLE DAMN PLACE!"
The place is shaking You, Lumberjack boy and Henry all jump on Goldie, who buckles under the weight
You: "Hi ho! Goldie!"
Marysallyannelou: "Wait! You can't escape! I was so close! So close!
Goldie tramples Marysallyannelou on his way to the stairs which he gallops up.

LOCATION: IN TOWN

Henry's Bar collapses
You: "Well, so much for Henry's world famous 'salon'..."
Henry: "*cough cough*
You: "It speaks!"
Henry: "Not at all, dear boy. So long as I still know the recipe for the fire whiskey Henry's Salon will never die..."
Henry: "Y'see, when I was just a little boy...My daddy sat me down an' said..."
Henry: "Son, I want you to listen to me an' listen good..."
You: "No-one cares, old man! No-one cares!"
Man: "Is Miss. Marysallyannelou...dead?"
You: "It's doubtful..."
You: "That would leave too few sequel opportunities..."
Man: "What?"
You: "I mean...That girl's smart. She'd figure a way to drag her mangled body to safety"
You: "Speaking of mangled bodies. I need to be back on my adventures!"
You: "But I must admit, this has been a pretty great start to them."
You: "I rescued my horse, uncovered a conspiracy. Hell, I even got the girl...sort of."
You: "And now...I'm off!"
Man: "I'm coming with you!"
You: "A faithful lumberjack companion...I like it."
You: "So what's your name?"
Man: "Sniffles. Stanley Sniffles. What's yours?"
You: "Just call me...The Cowboy..."
You ride off into the sunset
Henry: "Good bye, Cowboy. And God Bless"

THE END


I ran this through the word count. It's nearly three thousand words. That's nuts, why is it that when I try to write an essay for school I come withy half a page of large font, but when I'm writing an entry for non-competetive little activety about coming up with random game puzzles I write nine pages of material.

[Chronos]

Sry i hadn't read the other story, that was a coincidence.

[ScottDoom]

Eggie, I actually read all of that and it was very interesting. You should make a game like that.

[sergiocornaga]

Eggie, that rocks!

You: "The...um...Society of...uh...Happily...Er...Uhhh...Irritating(?)...Trees...."
You: "S.H.I.T for short!"

The word shit is actually an acronym itself... it stands for "Store High In Transit", the label they'd put on manure being taken overseas in ships back int the olden days...

[Eggie]

Cool!

[Chicky]

well, all your entries are good and all, but i still think mine beats your's by a longshot ... sorry but as long as i enter, you'll never win.

[Guesswho]

Your head is exploding. Your horse's missing. Your head's exploding. You drink from your bottle o'whiskey, or else you'd faint. After you check your inventory (Colt 45 and two bullets; 2 bucks; and a piece of rope), you load your gun and reenter the little town.
You whistle from time to time: your horse isn't around to hear you and rinch back, so you think the stealer must have placed the horse somewhere out of the town. You go to where you saw Harry and his wife for the first time: his store, he was the local barber. Lucky he didn't use his razor... You're almost sure the horse was stolen by Harry.
So you wonder around and try to speak to people, but nobody wants to help you. Near the stable, you find a packet of rat poison. A rope is lying on a roof nearby. You make a lace with the piece of rope and get the longer rope after a few tries.
You go to the saloon and try to bribe the local drunk with your bottle of whiskey. Unfortunately, he doesn't like that brand, but he tells you if you get him some tobacco he'll help you.
You go to the store and ask for a few chewing tobacco, but it has run out. Anyway, the merchant will give you a little bit if you accomplish a task: two gunmen are in town to rob him and you should avoid that. After you discover he's also ran out of ammo, he gives you an axe as it's the only gun he has. About Harry, he doesn't know a thing.
You prepare a trap for the gunmen. You enter the saloon and pay them a drink. You placed the rat poison in your bottle and try to use it on their drinks, but you don't get an opportunity to do so. Your two bucks were gone, too..., as you'd to pay some drinks for everybody.
You go back to the merchant. After a talk, he gives you a buck and a suggestion: why not preparing a trap when they come into the store?
So you tie the axe to the rope; place the axe above the door and hide behind some boxes. You wait a few minutes - they seemed hours... The gunmen enter. Your reaction time is slightly late, and when you pull the rope the axe hit just one of the gunmen. The other one tries to react, but you're faster and shot him in his arm. The storekeeper gives you the tobacco and urges calling the sheriff.
You get the rope and the axe and head to the saloon.
You find the old town drunk has just dead. You had forgotten your bottle there, and the man drank from it... You get the bottle before anyone else can use it - or discover it. Near the bottle, a match, that you also grab.
In despair, you sack your gun and use it against the bartender.
- Where's that damn Harry?! He stole my horse! Tell me, or then...
Frightened, the bartender tell you he has a little ranch nearby, and shows you the way. He even lends you his horse in exchange for the chewing tobacco.
You approach the ranch. A shot hits your hat, and you hit the dust to avoid being killed.
You hear a very disagreable voice:
- I should have killed you!
You get up, hiding behind the horse, and your voice sounds as if you were totally drank:
- Man, I... I lent ... you da horse, no...nowwww I neeeeeeeed it... oooookay?
Meanwhile, you get your bottle and open iot once more.
- What?!... Well, well, well... the man's drunk...
- Oh, me? Naaaah, naaaaaahhh. A paaaaarty, a goooood oooooone...
The man is approaching. You consider using your last bullet, but he seems very cautious, and that Winchester on his hands... So you let he approaches from you, while aiming you with the rifle.
You get the bottle and offer it to him. Completely convinced you're harrmless, he hits the bottle with his gun. You drop the bottle and the rest of the whiskey soaks him completely. Meanwhile, his gesture was to disarm you, what he accomplishes.
- Well, now I'll kill you for sure. Ya know, you were completely drank, and tried to attack me and my wife to rob us... HeHeHe.
You whistle the loudest you can. A rinch answers you. Your opponent gests distracted time enough. Thinking fast, you light the match and throw it against him. His whiskey soaked clothes start on fire. He drops the Winchester and your gun, trying to turn the fire off. You get your gun and the Winchester, then you hear a shot. It's over. Over? No!
You approach the house. A woman gets out and runs to you, while shouting:
- My hero! How do you know the best gift was someone freeing me from that bastard?!...
And she gives you a long, long kiss: well,  the girl always kiss the hero in the end, isn't it?
Well, that's it: you've recovered your horse, and you also won a woman - and a ranch. Or a ranch... and a woman. Not to speak the barbershop... Wait a minut! Do you want to become a serial killer? You always cut yourself when you shave yourself! Don't accept that job, for God's sake! DON'T!!! No, I don't need to be shaven... I want to live a few years more... NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Mine's the best: maybe someone can make a western from it
