He likens it to challenging an enemy to a gunfight and when he shows up and you're about to start the duel your friend, who's been hiding in a building, shoots your opponent in the back with a rifle.
How about challenging to a gunfight a guy who's ten feet tall and can only be killed with a shot from a rifle from a window in a certain part of his back?
