An annoyed Tulsan shot a man chasing a couple with a hatchet.  No, you read that right.  Ahhh … the joys of West Tulsa living.

A Tulsa couple in a domestic dispute angered their neighbor.  The angry neighbor chased the couple with his hatchet.  They ran screaming.  A fourth resident heard the cries for help.  He stepped outside with a pistol and told the man with a hatchet to stop. Then, the suspect ran toward the fourth man and hit him with his hatchet, who in return shot the man.

All that’s missing is a dwarf, Chris Pontius in a bunny suit and the rest of the Jackass team.

This month my 11-year-old brother is staying with me.  He asked if this happened near my house.  I told him, “No.  We live in Midtown and we’re too intelligent for something like that.”  Then, I continued to teach him vulgar words as an older brother should.

Officially, it’s self-defense on the gunman’s part.  Unofficially, it’s something we all want to do, which is shoot annoying neighbors.  Too bad neighbors don’t use hatchets more often.  It’s a pretty sweet excuse to shoot someone.

Now, I’m not going to close with something clichéd like “he had an ax to grind” or “he wanted to bury the hatchet.”  There’s nothing I can add to make this funnier than it already is.  I’ll just leave you with what my brother said when he heard the story.

“Holy f*** balls!”

I wonder where he got that?
