It's the ten duel commandments \\
'''Number One!'' \\
The challenge, demand satisfaction \\
If they apologize, no need for further action \\

Your Lieutenant, when there's reckoning to be reckoned \\
'''Number Three!''' \\
Have your seconds meet face to face
Negotiate a peace \\
Or negotiate a time and place \\
This is commonplace, 'specially 'tween recruits \\
(Most disputes die and no one shoots) \\
'''Number Four!''' \\
If they don't reach a peace, that's alright \\
Time to get some pistols and a doctor on site \\
(You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility \
You have him turn around, so he can have deniability) \\
'''Five!''' \\
Duel before the sun is in the sky \\
Pick a place to die where it's high and dry \\
'''Number six!''' \\
Leave a note for your next of kin \\
Tell 'em where you been \\
Pray that Hell or Heaven lets you in \\
'''Seven!''' \\
Confess your sins \\
Ready for the moment of adrenaline \\
When you finally face your opponent \\
'''Number Eight!''' \\
Your last chance to negotiate \\
Send in your seconds \\
See if they can set the record straight \\

Can we agree that duels are dumb and immature? \\

->[[GeneralRipper General LeMay]] suddenly took his cigar out of his mouth and, gesticulating wildly, challenged General Johnson to an aerial duel. He screamed, "Johnson, you fly one of those damned Huey's and I'll fly an F-105, and we'll see who survives. I'll shoot you down and scatter your peashooter all over the goddamn ground." I was eager to defend my chief, both verbally and physically ([=LeMay=] would have made two Johnsons in body weight, if not in mental poundage) but Johnson motioned to me to keep quiet and responded quietly: "I'm not a flier, but I will be happy to get qualified and take you on--we can agree on a time and place later. But let's not waste the valuable time of our colleagues on such a trivial matter."
