Assignment task:
Five men were into drinking beer and playing cards in one of the men's garage. The first man bluffed on a hand having only a pair of twos and all the other players folded their hands. "Let's see those cards," said a second man. The first man, who had consumed three beers over the previous three hours, responded, "Pay to see, dummy." A third man, who had consumed eight beers in two hours, said, "You had nothing and better show those cards right now. You're a low-down cheater and a liar." The first man replied, "I don't have to show you anything, you moron." The third man yelled back, "Now you're in for it!" and hurled one of the decks of cards and the automatic card shuffler directly at the first man, missing his head by inches. The third man then charged at the first man with a glass beer mug raised over his head. Just as the third man swung the beer mug at the first man's head, the first man pulled out a knife and stabbed the third man in the chest, killing him while the others looked on in horror.
