Woman accused of attacking husband with frying pan
A 51-year-old Ypsilanti woman was arrested Friday evening after she was accused of striking her husband on the head with a frying pan, police said.
The couple had been arguing most of the day, according to a media summary from Ypsilanti police. Officers were dispatched about 7 p.m. to their residence in the 100 block of South Grove Street after receiving a complaint that the woman had assaulted her 51-year-old husband.
"She was upset with his lack of feelings for her and struck him in the head twice with a frying pan," the police summary said.
The man was injured and treated at the scene, but refused further medical treatment.
No other information was immediately available.

Do you feel me now? One lump. Do you feel me now? 2 lumps. Nothing more than feelings. I wonder how many women attempt to knock out their husbands because they don't play the part of Romeo.

I'm glad AnnArbor.Com runs these stories. I really needed a good laugh just about now.

Many newer fry pans have non-stick Teflon surfaces and are quite light.

I'd guess that if she used a cast iron pan, he would have wound up in the hospital.

Expect the victim to sue the frying pan manufacturer.

After reading the article and ensuing comments I'll bet the guy who was "allegedly" hit with the frying pan wishes he would have expressed his feelings for his wife. I say this for two reasons: 1. He wouldn't have been hit with a frying pan. 2. He wouldn't be the brunt of all the hilarious comments here. (That is of course if he's reading them.)

If they outlaw frying pans then only outlaws will be able to fry bacon.

Personally don't know of any man worth hitting over the head with a frying pan. The cast iron pan is wonderful to make corn bread in. Either the man or woman should vacate the home.

Chuckle all you want, but a frying pan can make a point. Or rather, flatten one.

I'll bet he has feelings now, unless she WHAPPED him numb, of course. Do we need a 7 day waiting period to purchase cookware now?

Violence in the home. Is it any wonder that kids resort to violence on the street? It's what they see modeled.

Details! Details! Was the frying pan cast iron? Where on the head (I am thinking "upside")? Also, one does not "Strike" somebody with a frying pan. You "whap" them or "thunk" them. So, it should look something like this: A 51-year-old Ypsilanti woman was arrested Friday evening after she was accused of WHAPPING her husband UPSIDE the head with a frying pan, police said. Much better now, wouldn't you agree?

Tell you what Craig - if you look right below this thread, at the deleted comment, that is mine, and I was part of that crowd you mentioned. Evidently, that crowd is not welcome here.

And before the anti-frying pan crowd shows up I'd just like to remind everyone that frying pans don't whop people upside the head people whop people upside the head.

Sounds like an old episode of some classic TV show. But in all seriousness better a frying pan than some of the alternatives.

"She was upset with his lack of feelings for her and struck him in the head twice with a frying pan," the police summary said. I'm not sure Dr. Phil would approve of her plan, but in any case it probably elicited some feelings from her husband.
