my little brother is in highschool, and i don't know about where you live, but around here when highschools get close to major holidays, the teachers get slack and give the kids puzzles and random stuff for fun. My brother had this sheet of paper with a bunch of puzzles on it, one of which was a section where you got 3 words and had the find the thing they all had in common.

Example:

Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.
