Another game...for a drink

[Johnny_Ringo]

This is a game i have used twice in the field to get a free drink. More like a riddle/puzel i guess. I think i learned it in like 2nd grade, but it still works. You'll need 15 toothpicks, which can be found at most diners, so it can work well on waitresses..though, i've only used it in bars. Some bars have toothpicks...i just happen to cary a bunch with me cause they keep me from smoking. Anyway, it goes like this. First set it up however you want...tell the girl you're going to play a game or whatever.

Then you will need to set the 15 toothpicks up like so into three seperate boxes:
__
l/l
__
l\l
__
l-l

Then tell the HB(s) that you be them you can remove only 4 of the toothpicks and be left with one. They will say no way...so bet a beer or whatever you want. Then remove these 4 toothpicks:

__
l l

l\l
__
l-

As you can see (or maybe not, since it's hard to show it through macros), you are now left with the word ONE. It's worked everytime so far...let me know what ya think.
