The Duel
Published Feb 28, 2003

Aaron came home from school one day, all banged up, bloodied, and bruised.
His father asked him what on earth had happened. "Well, Dad, it's like this," Aaron began. "I challenged Larry to a duel and you know how that goes...I gave him his choice of weapons."
"Uh huh," said the father. "That seems fair."
"I know...but I never thought he'd choose his sister!"
