My weapon choices are somewhat limited by UK law, but if push comes to shove, I have an old bra that I can repurpose into a serviceable slingshot. No need for ammo as I should be able to lob some fairly hefty rocks with it.
Now that you mention it, did you misplace this? Those darn kids! They found it, and last I saw 'em they were looking for a tree with a fork in it... mumbling something about a "double barrel slingshot"...
But it's just hillbilly ingenuity. If you ever watched the Beverly Hillbillies, you'll recall that Jed Clampett still carried an old flintlock muzzle loader...
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
