A chess trap that only complete morons fall for.
The game is infamous for being the "two move checkmate".
1. f3 e5 (f3 is already a rather useless opening, as no pieces are developed with its aid)
2. g4 Qh4#
White is mated in two moves.
This trap almost never occurrs in actual play, as everyone who has even looked at a chess board knows how obvious this trap is.
A similar trap is the Scholar's mate (which is Black's fastest loss) which goes as follows:
1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Nc6 (Bishop's Opening)
3. Qh5 Nf6??? (Nf6 is a blunder to rule all blunders)
4. Qxf7#
Black is checkmated.
Again, this trap almost never occurs in regular play.
Most chess courses warn about these traps very early on, so anyone who actually falls for them deserves a dunce hat.

Bob: I played chess with my son, Bob Jr. I played Fool's Mate and he took it hook line and sinker.
Alice: Heh, funny. I started hanging out with the jocks in high school after a nerd humiliated me with the Scholar's mate.

Get the chillando matemug. Stuffing a girl's vagina with yerba mate, pouring hot water into it, and slurping it out with a bombilla (straw) in the same way that South Americans drink mate. Usually done with friends.
