What's your favorite example of Chekhov's Gun?

For those who may not know what the term means:

"If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."

— Anton Chekhov (From S. Shchukin, Memoirs. 1911.)
