All I need is a good woman with a big club..

I read this and wondered if my own wife would have stuck around to fend off a mountain lion. Then again, I'm a cheetah, and a really cool cat--I should be able to protect myself. An excerpt from the story:

Although the Hamms are experienced hikers, neither had seen a mountain lion before Jim Hamm was mauled, his wife said. Nell Hamm said she grabbed a four-inch-wide log and beat the animal with it, but it would not release its hold on her husband's head.
"Jim was talking to me all through this, and he said, 'I've got a pen in my pocket and get the pen and jab him in the eye,'" she said. "So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn't want to go in as easy as I thought it would."
When the pen bent and became useless, Nell Hamm went back to using the log. The lion eventually let go and, with blood on its snout, stood staring at the woman. She screamed and waved the log until the animal walked away.

To answer your question, I have to ask...

... are your life insurance premiums all paid up, and how big is your policy?

Afterward, she told her husband that she wanted the cat to ravish her the same way.
