There are no "Killings" in chess. Only "taking" of pieces, or "captures"

Does "1man" know how he will die?
Does the other man know?
Does the lady?
Has 1man known he will die for a week before?
Does 1man fear this death?

Okay, I have a couple of easy ones.

1. Along a country road, a man gets a flat tire. He pulls over to change the tire. He gets the hubcap off, the lug nuts off and the flat tire off, but when he puts the flat tire down, it hits the edge of the hubcap, flipping all four lug nuts into a grating in a nearby drainage ditch, unretrievable by him in any way. He's just about to start a long walk towards the nearest garage, when he gets a moment of inspiration, and ten minutes later, he is back on the road, motoring happily away. How did he do it?

2. A man arrives in a small town, and decides he would like to find a barber to get a haircut. At one end of the main street, he enters a barbershop. He notices it is a mess, with magazines strewn about in the waiting area, piles of hair on the floor, and the barber himself is unkempt, and unshaven. The man walks to the other end of the main street and he finds another barbershop. Upon entering, he finds it immaculate, with freshly mopped floors, and the barber himself is tidy, neat and well-groomed. Why does the man go all the way back to the first barbershop for his haircut?

1. He unscrews 1 nut from each of the three tires and puts those 3 nuts on the remaining tire. 3 nuts 🙂 should hold a tire ...

2. The fresh-looking barber obviously got its haircut and shaving from the disastrous-looking barber 🙂 ... so this is a guarantee, I think ...

That, plus the messy barber actually gets business.
