In the interests of a more complete experience, some actions are taken that aren't strictly necessary to complete the game, and the path taken isn't always the most efficient one. If you want something more thorough, see World of Monkey Island's page about in-jokes. Documenting them all doesn't really serve the purpose of a walkthrough, so I've tried to exercise restraint and only suggest actions that are more unusual or might be overlooked, or notable Easter eggs. There are many jokes and references in the dialogue options, object descriptions, and scene decor. Note about 'For Your Amusement': I don't know if you noticed, but this game is a comedy.
