This is actually the pinacle of our real life who would win conversations. This went on for months. It started when I was talking about how bruce willis could be crawling around in chuck's air vents and he'd never know, to which chuck responded that he would know, because he has a land shark living in his airduct, that would kill bruce willis.

The problem with this bout was that Chuck's land shark had no definitive characteristics, so as the fight went on he developed new, more deadly threats in its attempts to defeat bruce willis. eventually having a nuclear payload that detonated upon self destruction. I held that bruce willis would be through clear and land on a mattress surrounded by sexy nurses, but eventually I lost the argument and here's why:

I forgot, for a fraction of a second, that Aronld Schwarzenegger is invincible. The argument behind that is another story for another time, it's pretty indepth and includes math. but chuck used this lapse against me in what I refer to as a "sneaky philospher's trick." thats right, he nailed me with socratic method. It went down like this:

Chuck: Well you'd have to admit this shark is really tough
Me: Oh, definately, I think if it was anyone other than Bruce Willis…
Chuck: Yeah, hey, do you think the shark would beat arnold schwarzenegger?
Me: Yah probably, its a tough shark
Chuck: Yes, but by your own arguments arnold always wins, therefore if the shark can beat arnold it would logically follow that the shark must be able to beat Bruce Willis.
Me: I've been had!
