"Frogs, if I fight this guy, he'll shoot me."
"I'm not suggesting you actually fight him Guppy, I'm suggesting we try and move forward from the stage of hyperventilating every time he walks past. I think we should try the principle of desensitisation."

"In the red corner, we have Guppy, defeater of zombies, tackler of aggressive relatives, master of the stun gun, and with a boxing score of 986! In the blue corner, we have Urquhart, a n00b with a score of 0 and which incidentally is lower than Alex's score of 14 (although today he will be played by Frogspawn who holds the Wii Boxing Championship record of the house with a whopping 1857). Let the desensitisation begin!"
Frogspawn presses the A button, and on the television flashes Guppy's WiiMii on the left, and a weedy looking Urquhart WiiMii on the right. Armed with a Wiimote in one hand and a nunchuck in the other, the Miis face one another to fight it out man to man.
"Round 1... Fight!"
The bell rings, and battle commences.
After defeating Urquhart fifteen times (albeit with Frogspawn playing deliberately kindly), they let Alex beat him up, with the warning that it's only okay to hit people in computer games.
