Okay, enough about how Ranma matches up against Batman, what I really want
to know is how does a tag team composed of Ranma Saotome and David Letterman
stack up against another tag team composed of Dot Warner and Anne of Green
Gables?  I mean, I'm really familiar with Ranma's immense fighting styles,
but can he take a character who, by definition, can't be beaten, outsmarted,
or even disturbed very much?  (Maybe I should say, "is already disturbed".)
And we all know that David Letterman has that sarcasm thing going for him,
but really, don't you think Anne could write circles around him?  I sure do!

BTW, this is for a fan fic that I never intend to write, much less even
think about very much.  Here's a preview:

Ranma (calling attack):  Saotome School Of Anything Goes, Special Attack!
Behold, the Umi-ken!  The sea of a thousand fists!
Dot (in response):  Oh yeah?  Warner Brothers (and Sister) School Of Rather
Ordinairy Attacks (for us, anyway) Baloney-In-Your-Slacks Attack:  Sea of a
thousand slices of baloney!
(Ranma blinks in consternation, then pulls his waistband out and looks
down.)
Ranma:  Baloney?  (He removes a handful of slices).  How did you...?
David Letterman:  Wow!  Talk about fast luncheon meat!  Let's see that again
on our baloney-cam!
Anne:  "...." (Absolutely speechless).
