A Hypothetical Fight

A good friend of mine just received his P.H.D. in Literature. So in honor of his new title we engaged in highbrow humor, or attempted it, sort of.

The question was this:

Who would win in a fight between Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens?

Would a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court call it the best of times, or the worst of times. Would his tell-tale heart be strong enough to defeat Injun Joe.

In the end we couldn’t come to a consensus upon the winner, so we decided to wait for our friend Godot. And would you believe that we are still waiting.
