Being "weak" is exactly the point there. By screwing myself over I
am showing myself as strong. If I accepted the obviously unfair
offer, I'd show myself as weak.  Additionally I would make it clear
to anyone "in the future" that this is what happens when you try to
play unfair with me. *slaps chest*
