Kentucky man accused of throwing Christmas ham at woman during argument over what day to have holiday dinner

A Kentucky man was arrested after cops say he hurled a Christmas ham at a woman during an argument over what day to have the holiday dinner.

David Brannon, 21, attempted to flee from deputies but was detained at their home near London following the dispute on Sunday night, two days before Christmas.

Investigators in Laurel County say that Brannon “began throwing items” at the female victim, including the ham, as they squabbled.

I live in Kentucky and formerly in Laurel County. I read this to my sister-in-law yesterday and we both had a good laugh. Fortunately for us, living here doesn’t make us from here 😇

You throw the platter; you eat the ham.

Must be city folk.

* Airing of grievances, followed by
* Feats of strength, which includes
* The throwing of the ham.

Mine was a poor family. We just threw pork chops. But a good time was had by all.
