Nuff men get coul kawo-fer from their upset wife eh. Man that was the weapon of choice of my granny and later my mother when gramps and later dad came home looking guilty or said some nonsene. But in all fairness the other kawo that we called the goose (filled with burning coal) was better. Those were the days.
