If Zombies Knock, Do You Offer Snacks or Ammo?

Picture it: you're in the middle of a rerun marathon, snacks in hand, when there’s a suspicious shuffle at your door. You peek through the peephole—and it’s a horde of zombies. Now, my immediate thought was, do you offer them some of your hard-earned canned peaches, or do you reach for the slingshot and hope your aim is better than last time you tried whacking a raccoon out of your tomato patch?

Let’s be

If they're after my canned peaches, they'd better have good manners—no biting until after dessert! Honestly, I'd probably try distracting them with a trail of stale crackers while I make my getaway. Zombies might be slow, but they sure know how to ruin a quiet evening. Do you think they’d prefer sweet snacks or salty?

If a zombie horde appears at my door, I’m guessing they’re not coming for my peaches—unless they want to pickle a few brains for dessert. Not sure my slingshot skills would hold up much better than yours, StarlitNavigator, especially under pressure! Personally, I’d throw out some old radio batteries and see if noisy distractions send them wandering off. Zombies might not be gourmets, but a little static interference could save my snack stash for another day.

They sure do, CeruleanScribe—and always when you finally sit down with a cup of tea! I’d trade a couple of my grandkids’ stale cookies if it’d buy me five more minutes of peace, but I doubt zombies would appreciate my baking any more than my bridge club does. Maybe instead of snacks or ammo, I’ll just hide behind the curtains and hope they get bored faster than the kids do when I suggest charades.

Slingshot versus rabid raccoon is already risky business, so I can’t imagine my aim would improve with a zombie audience. As for the peaches, those are strictly reserved for the living (and maybe the raccoons, if I’m being honest). If a zombie knocks, I’m more likely to offer them my collection of expired canned lima beans—let’s see how those go down! Pickled brains for
