Read an article about a man who apparently beat his wife to death with two banjos...kind of a parallel universe to gun control, isn't it? Imagine the bumper stickers...

"When banjos are outlawed, only outlaws will have banjos" :D

"I'll give up my banjo when they pry my cold, dead fingers from the frets" :D

On a positive note, at least there's two less banjos!

Now just a minute - you really read a story about a man who murdered his wife with TWO banjos? Any details? One in each hand? One for the initial assault, one for the fine work? We need what, where, when, and mostly, HOW?

Maybe there's a lesson here for the "War on Terror". Send out a bunch of banjo players for the initial psychological assault, wave after wave of (as Walt Kelly put in the very early Pogo comics) "whangin' and a-blangin' on the bang-jo", demoralizing and driving to ground all within hearing range (and with a banjo, that's a long way indeed), then the crack two-handed banjo assault teams, then, as a final touch, bagpipers to finish off the wounded.

Could revolutionize modern warfare.

ok, I'm going to have to search the web for this article, I'll report back.

John, as I recall he broke one banjo on her and brought in the second to finish her off...

West,

An El-kabong image of Good and Evil flittered thru my mind, The Good of Course, El Kabong with the Guitar of Justice & Right vs Evil, the wicked banjo from the dark side..

Maybe "Bluegrass Humor", ??? Maybe not.
