>Duel licensing.

I don't think that's legal, but it's a pretty interesting idea. Instead of just mandating a license, the vendor and customer can each advocate a license, and then have a duel to determine which license to use. Of course, each side would have to find someone willing to risk death in a duel (and one of them would have to die, for it to be a real duel), just for the sake of their employer. Do you think it'd be better to have a duel with swords or pistols? I guess they could water it down and remove the death requirement, perhaps by having the combatants do fencing or wrestling or something like that.

The worst part is I actually thought about the fuel/dual thing when I wrote it but still picked the wrong one.
