Code Duello

It was just decided by my roommate Michael and I that a new method of settling disputes should be adopted. Seeing as our brains are slowly being channeled and filtered, like the mighty Mississippi that's been reduced to a docile stream through the concrete will of dead men, and it seems like the side that has the better stable of lawyers is always in the right, we propose a different, non-aggressive, final fix for the address of grievances.

It is: four square.

That's right, the beloved game in which everyone is equal, and wits, reflexes, and caffeine determine the victors. You would draw up the squares, with yourself directly facing the person with whom you have the argument, and flanking you on either side is the chief council for your (and his) legal team. The only way the law will matter in this system is whether or not your lawyer has better knees and a quicker reaction time than that of your opponent.

All results are accepted as absolutes. No do-overs. In this method, only the bold and dangerous will be victorious.

Just a thought.

Let's run with it.
