Chapter 3 - Just Shoot Me

The Warners sadly walked through the Supermarket, looking at random things. Most of the time they would beg and ask if they could have certain things, but after what happened to Nurse, they wern't really up to it.

"I hope that whoever stole the kettle gets caught." Said Yakko

"I hope so too." Said Dot

"I wanna tear him apart!" Wakko was angry

"Please Vakko, Getting angry is not going to bring back Ze stolen money." Said Dr. Scratchnsniff

"And what will?" asked Wakko

"Vell, You'll have to figure Zhat one out Yourself." said Dr. Scratchnsniff

Wakko walked along the aisles and kept thinking.

Eventually, they all passed the TV section. It just so happened that Wheel of Fortune was on.

"Hey guys, look, it's Wheel of fortune!" Said Yakko

"With Pat Sajak?" asked Dot

"And Vanna White?." Asked Wakko, to which the brothers said "Helllloooo Nurse!"

"Boys!" Dot said hopelessly.

The game was being played in the first round. While the Warners had their eyes glued to the TV, Dr. Scratchnsniff decided to go get the groceries and supplies while the Warners kept watching.

On the Screen, a contestant spun the wheel. The Category was "Classic TV."

"550." Said Pat

"Is there an S?" asked the contestant

"Yes, there are 2 S's."

The Puzzle read as follows;

[ ][ ][S][ ] [S][ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ]

"Just shoot me." Said Wakko

"Wakko Warner! Don't you ever say that kind of thing again! We don't want you to die!" Said Yakko

"No, the puzzle is "Just shoot me." Said Wakko

"Really?" asked Yakko, looking at it closer.

"Can I buy an O?" asked the contestant.

"Yep, 2 O's." Said Pat. Vanna Revealed more of the puzzle.

[ ][ ][S][ ] [S][ ][O][O][ ] [ ][ ]

"Wow, Wakko, I think you're right." Said Yakko

The Contestant spun the wheel again.

"$1,000. Give me a letter." Said Pat

"Uh, A T." Said the contestant

"There are 2 T's" said Pat. Vanna lit up the letters again.

[ ][ ][S][T] [S][ ][O][O][T] [ ][ ]

"Uh, I'd like to buy an E." Said the contestant

"Sure, one E." Said Pat

Vanna lit the letter E up on the board.

[ ][ ][S][T] [S][ ][O][O][T] [ ][E]

"Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle." Said the contestant

"Ok, what is it?" asked Pat

"Just shoot me!" Said the contestant

"Come on, I asked you to give me the answer, not a suicide wish!" Said Pat

"No! The answer is 'Just Shoot me.'" Said the contestant.

The Whole board lit up. The answer was indeed "Just Shoot Me."

[J][U][S][T] [S][H][O][O][T] [M][E]

"Wow, Wakko, you were right!" said Yakko

"For a guy who doesn't bathe, I'm impressed." Said Dot

"Thanks, it was nothin'" Said Wakko

The Tv went to a commercial break. The Warners kept watching.

Authors Note: About 15 years ago (Which was about 1999) when I was 8, there was a real puzzle on an Episode of Wheel of Fortune for "Just Shoot Me" and i figured it out, and blurted the answer out loud, while my dad overheard. To this day, I'm not sure whether his reply of "I don't want to do that." was serious or sarcastic. So What you read in this chapter is based on a real experience by the Author.
