title: pop/shift a ruby array multiple times
body: <p>My code currently looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  
  def pop_three
    pop = []
    3.times { pop &lt;&lt; numbers.pop }
    return pop
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do what's inside the <code>pop_three</code> method in one line?</p>
  
  <p>I basically want to do something like <code>numbers.slice(0, 3)</code> but deleting the array items that are in the slice.</p>
  
  <p>Uhm...hrmmm, I think I just realized I can try slice!</p>
