I would say then, it depends on what fits. I heard a a story about a tiling spade as a weapon. "I'll cut your head off". The man telling the story said, 'I think it he could have done it too".

I suppose we could live in a tower, and pour bolling oil on intruders.
That might be a step backwards for civilization, and another place Brother Keith might not want to ask directions.
