A Whip And A Jug Of Whiskey
This looks like a reasonably amicable domestic dispute, as such things go. Both parties seem amused, but it’s probably good if our boisterous husband doesn’t manage to pry that jug of whiskey out of his wife’s hand. She seems not at all alarmed that he’s raising a whip against her, but I suspect she would prudently prefer to schedule the whiskey-drinking parties on different days from the wife-whipping parties. Both are fun, but less so when combined!
