    Imagine you are a cowboy in the wild west.
    You are in a three way shoot out with two of your compatriots over the hand of a fair lady.
    You're not a very good shot. You only hit what you're aiming at 10% of the time.
    Your buddy Jake is better, he'll make the shot 60% of the time.
    Elwood is the best, he'll hit his target 90% of the time.
    You've all only got one bullet each.
    You're only advantage is that you're a faster draw than the other two, who are about even.
    What's your best course of action?:)
    Can I phone a friend?

    You know I actually share names with an ancestor of mine that killed a man because he didn't like the way he was dividing up the fish they caught. (he was hung)
    even with that tid bit, this just seems ridiculous to me.

    You could always tell your buddies she's not that fair a lady and has the clap as well as consumption.

    They may lose interest...

    You could put the gun under your chin and threaten to kill yourself unless they let you get the girl this time.
    If Jake and Elwood were any kind of decent men they would suddenly realise that you had long been typecast as the sidekick who never got the girl. They'd suddenly become aware that you had real issues and might well blow your own head off.
    They would then quietly withdraw. Both feeling a little ashamed that they had been too self absorbed to notice how unhappy you had become lately.
