EVER USE A BOOK AS A WEAPON?

[suzy1124]

Yes... many eons ago when I was " young and dumb ".....newly married, but pissed off about something....i hit the poor guy w/a huge book ( The Manhattan Phone Book Directory ).............weighs a ton...

It was the only thing handy other than an ash tray and a heavy candlestick....i thought that i was being very considerate at the time....

how about you?

[TrishaAnn92]

YES! I use my books to smack my husband when he pisses me off but only when I am reading traditional, I don't want to throw my phone at him.

[rei_sawakami]

I would, but I don't want to hurt my precious baby... (the book, that is)

[Nusrat_Sultana]

No, but that's a good idea! I should definitely use a book as a weapon in the future!

[gali]

Lol, I never did. Anyway I wouldn't want to hurt the book or the person...

[suzy1124]

heeehe...such funny answers, i'm literally LOL here............almost spilled my coffee!

[kaylahar6]

I haven't, but will in the future!!!

[Fran]

No, I'm not of a violent disposition. Anyway, I'd be afraid it might boomerang.

[suzy1124]

wonder what derivation of the phrase: " throw the book at him ?"

[d0dridge]

I haven't used a book as a weapon but a book has become a dangerous harmful object and injured me when it fell of the book shelf. It happened to have very tough sharp plastic edges and cut my foot. Does this count?

If I was pushing for memories of using a book as a weapon, I have killed a fly by slamming a book shut. The fly is probably still there.

"You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!"

Sorry...I'm not sorry. I never miss the chance to quote the Doctor.

interesting....a dead fly pressed in a book, NOVEL CONCEPT!...... ........ who sez only FLOWERS can be pressed in a book...

[Bfrisco]

Absolutely! It's one of the easiest ways to kill nasty insects I don't want in my room. Use a paper towel under a hardback book I don't like and squash them, then clean up with some sanitizing wipes.

[Bighuey]

Same here. Ive swatted a few flies with books but never a person. My wife once threw a newspaper at me in a fit of anger. Does that count?

[suzy1124]

wow! what did you do to piss her off?...
