If I tried to beat my wife with “the rod”...
...her daddy and two brothers would shoot me me with “the shotgun”.

I have my own shotgun, thankyouverymuch.
Like the other poster's wife, better kill me with the first lick. Otherwise, as Paul Harvey used to say, "You can run but you can't hide." And my aim might be a little "off" for the first two or three shots.
