“A” as in Ammunition
Friday, April 1, 2011
Welcome to the month long blog fest of the A-Z challenge. For how this works and to find others participating visit Tossin it Out and ask for Lee.
For my first day and the letter “A” I have chosen Ammunition. I’m not talking bullets here. I’m talking a Kentucky woman's version of ammunition. Know what I mean?
If you’re a male in the state of Kentucky you watch your P’s and Q’s, should you step out of line; chances are you will never see it coming. Most women here have been educated in the fine art of revenge and proper male training.
Should a male step out of line this is how it goes.
First offense: the evil eye; as in, “Keep on and you will regret it in the morning.”
Second offense: served the ugliest, nastiest tasting, cold dinner you can imagine, followed by a “Cat swallowed the canary” smile. Do not be deceived
Should you commit a third offense... bed as usual, only to be awaken by the tight nylons constricting your extremities. As you stare at those constraints, bewildered as to how freedom will be achieved, this is what you will not see coming….
The biggest cast-iron skillet momma could hand down to her. The first words you will hear, “Morning honey, how did you sleep?”
Ammunition, the Kentucky female version.
Peace…

Bet Kentucky has the most well-behaved husbands in the USA!
I am furiously scribbling down notes for future reference...

LOL! You're so funny. Oh, what? You're not kidding? Ah, knew I liked you. :)
Let the challenge begin; and a good beginning for you!
Have a good day Jules...
I can pretty deadly with the evil eye too--for a New Jersian. LOL!
ROFL Oh Jules, you kill me. I really did serve up a cold dinner or two. Unfortunately, he had a rather unrefined palate and didn't comment. I had to actually go on strike and not serve dinner at all!
Ha ha, How appropriate! Could you please send over some of that amunition, I need it to kill my computer :)
Oh dear! Thanks for the chuckle. Great post!
HAHAHAHA Oh my goodness, my tummy hurts, I must learning a lot today... I need that ammunition sometimes :-))
Great post, Jules, wonderful way to start your A to Z...
And thanks for stopping by my blog and your kind comments, greatly appreciated comments :-)

Strong skillets make good husbands. Also sounds like Montana.

Wanna buy a duck
Aussie girls are similar, except we have a zero tolerance enforcement and we don't aim for the face. Great start for A-Z :)
Spare the skillet, spoil the husband. Great post! Thanks for the chuckle.

I'd never heard of "taking a bullet" for a man until my husband told me about my brother-in-law using that phrase....
LOL- Love the pan- my mom once told me that men are bigger and stronger- she only used a pan to level out the playing field. LOL Thanks for the smile and I'm thrilled you are participating in this blogfest!
Think I need to go get me a pan....
(totally kidding)
We bought Tangled and of course she uses a frying pan to do her whacking. Makes a great weapon for self defense too. I use pans in my first chapter as some chefs beat the hell out of bad guys with cast iron skillets as they try to pass through their kitchen.
Haha! I love it! Go, women of Kentucky!! The rest of us have been duly and irreversibly enlightened. Education is, as always, the KEY to a successful life!!!! LOL
That doesn't go just for Kentucky. I think it's training all southern women get. No matter where they are from. We got those lessons too!
Stopping by from the Challenge!

WOW! Awesome post. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! hahaha
My wife must have a little "Kentucky" in her! Happy A2Z!
Lol I loved this post.
I'm going to take notes now and reread. ;-)
Hon, you crack me up. But, it's true. I've had my own bit of southern upbringing, and, yeah, I am practiced in the evil eye. Unfortunately, all my cooking's pretty gross, so I have to skip #2 :)
My mood is ok and I am totally out of coffee. What the heck did you run out of? ;o)
Oh Jules this is priceless. Pass the skillet please....
Love this one - made me giggle! Great way to start off the challenge!
This made me laugh when I read it. I was pleasantly surprised after seeing the picture, lol...
This is a very creative definition of Ammunition. I love it.
Love, Love this. Can't wait to see your next posts for this challenge. =)

WoW!! nice post!!
Up north we don't give them three chances and we don't dirty our nice frying pans with their blood. We pack it up and head out.

In Texas, Step 3 is replaced by locking you outside your house on a cold night in your underwear, just because you stepped into the yard to whizz.
Step 4 is threatening to burn your house down.
Step 5 is actually doing it.

As soon as I saw 'A is for Ammuniction' I laughed out load and pictured you with a shotgun!!

LOL!!!! My sister's ex wouldn't let her have a cast iron pan for that very reason. Great post!!!
So funny! I loved this post. Reminds me of one of my relatives . . .and I'm not sure that's good or not. However, she was a strong lady.
Bestill my heart...a true Southern gal who knows how to keep her husband in line!
Visiting from the A to Z Challenge. Looking forward to reading your posts. Happy Friday! :o)

There should be a requirement that women go to Kentucky for premarital school. Finishing school. Now that is some powerful ammo.
You really got off to a big start with A. 63 comments on a post that I'm not letting my wife read, though she's Ecuadorian just like Lorena Bobbitt and I'm not going to step out of line with her.
Have a great A to Z!
Contrary to my usual practice of subscribing to comments, to save time during challenge I will not be doing so during April. If you want to respond to my comment , please email me directly from your email notification for the comment.

Ouch! Sounds like Kentucky is good place for lady to live. Maybe not so much her man, though.
