  1. Yeah. What is it that you always say? Any chair in a bar fight. I guess in this case there would be enough chairs for World War III.

  2. Is there anything that has no potential use as a weapon?

  3. In first grade I "stabbed" a girl in the hand with a pencil.

    It was unintentional but I broke the skin. "Legitimate purpose" AND a weapon at the same time.

  4. The weapon is the mind. This is obvious since we improvise with the most unlikely tools when we must. One might choose a rifle if he's expecting a fight...one might choose a pistol when not expecting a fight...and one might settle for a coffee mug (preferably with piping-hot coffee, but useful even without), or even bare hands or feet, if that is the quickest or best option available to stop a fight that someone else started.

    So: lobotomies for everyone, just you wait!

    Well, there go pencils, pens, laptops, calculators, books, lunch pails, shoes, hands, feet, sewing thread and needles, paper clips, hard skulls (only the mush-headed may attend), belts, long legged pants, long-sleeved shirts, scarves, bobby pins, rings, necklaces, and these are just a few of the items that could be used as weapons.

  7. My favorite from "Unintended Consequences" is - 'insert sharpened #2 pencil thru eyesocket, stir vigorously' (or something to that effect.)

  8. I can kill a man with a magazine. Allright, allright, it only happened once, and I stopped short of murder because I was laughing so hard because my intended, shit his pants and screamed like a little girl. Thieves, especially barracks thieves, take note. I think the reason this is spreading is because the authoritahs want docile FUTURE sheep, not people in charge of their own lives, and hostile to tyranny. I have four sons who fit the description of independant minded, and frosty.
