Considering what has been used as weapons, that may not leave us with much to talk about. After all, even a book can be a weapon.
Quote:
My great uncle reminisced about a salesman who came to his door when he was a lot younger selling “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” by Gibbon.
“Here is a book you can’t afford to be without,” he said.
“I never read,” answered my great uncle.
“Well buy it for your children,” urged the salesman.
“I’m single—I have no family. All I have is a dog.”
“Well,” insisted the salesman, “don’t you want a nice heavy book to throw at the dog now and then?”
