How The Wizard of Oz Should Have Ended

Plot
Dorothy returning to Kansas before she can journey down the yellow brick road leaves grim fates to the story's other heroes. The Scarecrow remains tied to a pole in the cornfield, and gets pecked by crows who he fails to scare. The Tin Man becomes rusted so stiff, he can not move or talk. The Cowardly Lion never finds self-confidence, and quivers at every sound the forest makes. The Wizard then creates Mood Whiplash as he tries to cheer up the viewers.

 * Munchkin Coroner: Whoa, you killed her. How is it so? I thought only water could kill the witch foe.
 * Munchkin Coroner 2: I thought so too, until that house killed one dead. Then I figured, we're carrying guns so I shot her in the head.
