I Love My Blogsons...

Because they send me stories like this:

Charges filed in Overland Park banjo self-defense case
Attacked by a man wielding a frying pan and a knife, an Overland Park man swung his banjo.

Police say the Monday banjo blow to the head stopped the assailant, who was treated for a cut and taken to jail.

I really have nothing else to add to this, except perhaps that it's amazing that someone finally found a good use for a banjo... (more banjo jokes here)

You might be a redneck if you've ever used a banjo in self-defense...

That is all.

Thanks to Merlin for sending this along!

Clearly, the attacker (and perhaps the defender) was highly strung . . .

:-p

I thought you were supposed to use the banjo on the knee.

Brings new meaning to the old southern saying, "Paddle faster, I hear banjos!"

The only positive thing to come out of this might be a new 5 day waiting period to purchase a banjo.

Somewhere around 1990 there was a local domestic violence murder with a banjo as the murder weapon.

Google came up with a different banjo murder....

What is the definition of "gentleman?"
Some one who knows how to play the banjo ... but doesn't.

The Banjo is a stout piece of deadly ordnance.

That scene from 'Support Your Local Gunfighter' keeps coming to me---
"You couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a banjo!"

Does anyone else hear the phrase "El Kabong" from the Quick Draw Mcgraw cartoons
