1. Go to a secondhand store and buy a pair of used size 14-16 men's work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine.
3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads
Pete,
Slim & I went downtown for more ammo and beer. Be back in about an hour.
Don't mess with the pit bulls. They got the postman this morning and messed him up bad.
I don't think Butch took part, but it was hard to tell from all the blood.
Anyway, I locked em in the house.
Better wait outside. Be right back.
