I hate to humiliate myself this way, but I am too old to waste any more time
on stumbling around blindly.
 
I just bought Monkey Island, after waiting for months and months for the Amiga
)version.  NOw, I'm beginning to wish I'd spent my money elsewhere . :-)
 
I am stuck at the very beginning.  I have talked to the three pirates and
found out about the three trials.  I even talked to the dog.  I know about
Gov Marley and LeChuck.  I have been into town, visited the store, been into
the church, and have taken Otis some breath mints.  I even took a look at the 
Governor's piranha poodles.  And that is as far as I can get.
 
I have not been able to buy/steal a sword or shovel.  I can't open the safe
in the store.  The church seems to be a big waste of time; I don't see
anything to do in there.  At the prison, Otis mentions carrot cake, but I
can't find any other reference to one. 
 
The fortune teller wasn't a lot of help, although I did manage to steal a 
chicken.  I have a set of PTA minutes, one gold coin left, the rubber chicken.
I do not have enough money to buy anything.  The old man in the store is no
help.  And I  can not find any other unexplored places to go.
 
Won't some kind soul out there take pity on me and point me in the right 
direction?
