My name is Lance

Lance Whitnall appeared in court yesterday to apply for an intervention order against his brother, Shane. The order was eventually granted by Judge Roy Bean, who commented that in all his years he had never come across a case quite like this one. The unusual nature of the intervention order itself makes this a unique case.
"As far as I know, this is the first intervention order that will only be in force during meal times. The boys are happy to see each other the rest of the time but they are adamant that they will never share a meal again," said the bemused judge.
Shane's wife Tammy continues the tale. "It all began on Christmas Day at Shane and mine's house in Reservoir," added the diminutive bottle blonde. "Shane had spent months looking for the biggest turkey ever and finally came home with a 48 kg bird. He was so proud.
After we had cooked it and Shane took it off the barbie, Lance just went nuts. He grabbed the whole thing, sat it on his lap on my son Exavier's TV Stable Table and started hoeing in. How rude! No way would Shane put up with that so he wrestled both Lance and the turkey to the ground."
"We were all terrified," continued Lance's peroxided wife, Rhiannon. "They wrestled and ate, and wrestled and ate. No one could separate them until all that was left was clean-picked bones. We had to all go down to Macca's for a happy meal."
It has been reported that the boys then made up but the truce was short-lived. A couple of days later, on a family trip to the zoo, they were at it again. "They were OK," said the boys father, Graeme, "Until it was feeding time for the lions. The sight of two hungry lions fighting over a side of antelope was too much for them and they were at it hammer and tongs. It was just like when they were teenagers again."
The most puzzling aspect of this case, according to Judge Bean, was Tammy's threat to burn down the house of her sister-in-law Rhiannon's, parents. "No way did I threaten to do that. All I did was threaten to burn their Fleetwood Mac collection. I'm sick of that b!tch holding that one over me!"
