Get the yea standoff mug.An Albanian stand off is when two gentlemen have a disagreement over the price of an item and settle the dispute with this method.
The stand off consists of two shovels and the men them selves. They are to stand exactly 25 meters away from each other and lower their trousers. They then extract their excrement onto the shovels and once a third party says so, they are to fling their shit at the other gentleman.
The winner is the one who flings his shit closest to the other man.
