“But if it’s not, I’ll kill you.” A brother and sister get in a knife fight over butter versus margarine:
The sister told Knouf she was making macaroni and cheese when her brother asked if she was using butter.
“They began to argue over the difference of real butter to margarine,” wrote Knouf in the report.
The verbal argument escalated into a shoving match, and then the sister is accused of trying to cut her brother, Knouf wrote.
Well, it’s not Ginger versus Mary Ann, but I can see how people can get pretty emotional about it. Good thing lard wasn’t an option.
It wasn’t a knife. According to the article, it was a “serrated barbecue spatula,” which doesn’t sound terribly dangerous.
I googled “barbecue spatula,” and this is the only one I could find that had a serrated edge:

I suppose if you held a person down and sawed his neck with that, you might manage to cut him, but really, this is stupid.
Tastes great! Less filling!
I don’t know – my serrated barbeque spatula is damn sharp! And it’s big and heavy enough to do some real damage!
Edward, I’d have to disagree. That’s not a good choice for killing someone, but you should be able to open up some nasty gashes by swinging it like a bat.
What in the world is “FOURTH degree assault”? If first degree involves malice aforethought, and second degree simple loss of control…well, fourth degree almost requires the assailant to not be present, doesn’t it?
Mary Ann!
According to Washington state law: (RCW 9A.36.041) A person is guilty of assault in the fourth degree if, under circumstances not amounting to assault in the first, second, or third degree, or custodial assault, he or she assaults another.
