‘I challenge you to a–OW!’

Guys are sometimes full of machismo and refuse to step down when challenged by another male. The result often is that both of them look stupid (this is how mixed martial arts got started).

An example of this comes to us from Colorado, where two men shocked each other with Tasers after a dispute in a parking lot took a turn for the, well, not exactly deadly unless you have a pacemaker. A restaurant owner got into an argument with a rent-a-cop about a company van parked behind the restaurant. The owner was upset there was a boot on the car, the rent-a-cop was concerned he would be attacked with bolt cutters.

Shockingly enough (HAR!), both men were armed with Tasers, and in 18th century duel style, they shocked each other, presumably until one of them cried “uncle.”
