McBrownpants
Mad Ade's great great granddad was a Cowboy in the wild west.
He was known either by the Indian name "Dances with Alcohol" or his nickname "Mad Cow McBrownpants". One day, he saw his face on a poster nailed to a tree. As he approached, he saw "Wanted, Dead or Alive". Under his picture, it read: "Reward ___
Dollars."
There was a three-digit figure on the poster. Mad Cow McBrownpants drew his Colt and shot at the first number (in the hundreds column). He had just reduced the price on his head four fifths.
"Good shot," said his Indian sidekick, "Talks without Sense", who stood on the other side of the tree, polishing his arrow. McBrownpants nodded, and shot again at another number (in the tens column). He had just reduced the price on his head by another four fifths.
"Nice shooting!" said his sidekick again, hoping for a wage rise.
"Stop groveling," said McBrownpants.
What was the initial reward offered on Mad Cow McBrownpants head?
