There are 252 ways to win at connect four

In amongst all these awfully important questions, I think a riddle is in order. An oldie, but a goodie, in my humble opinion.

Everyone was on a first name basis until suddenly someone got something in his eye. What happened?

If you get the right answer, you'll get nothing but the satisfaction that you got it right.

[No, wait, he can make it fun for him, too.]

...That and a mystery gift.

...I have a feeling you're not going to get this one.

Is it really that hard?

I think it requires a certain ability to think on a lateral plane I don't believe you can reach.

... Ok, Fine. What's the answer?

I'm not just going to give it to you.

Uh!

Pleeeease?

Let me think about that...

No.

But why not? I won't give it away, I promise!

Because I said so, or because I don't want to. Pick one.

Because you don't want to?

What can I do to make you want to tell me?
[She's really missing her financial clout right about now.]

I don't know, what can you offer me?

I can... uh... um...

Ooh! I'll give your closet a makeover!

...Oh good someone no.

Well, what is it you want, then?

A bottle of wine. Good wine.

So if I get you a bottle of good wine, you'll tell me the answer to the riddle?

Sure, why not.

I wonder if I can even get any... back home I wasn't allowed.

I'm sure you'll work something out.

Well, things are pretty different around here. Maybe I can pull something off.

Knock yourself out, kid.
