I had a mate...
... who used to get picked on a lot. Mostly because he was pretty odd, and did stuff like wander around with a TV tube in his bag. Naturally, the obvious thing to do was to teach him how to make a stun gun out of bits from the rest of the knackered telly. This shifted the balance of power a bit:
"Go away or I'll zap you with my stungun!"
"You haven't got a stungun <derisive laughter>"
"Yes I have, Gordonjcp showed me how to make one"
"<silence, possibly stunned silence>"

I still don't understand why *I* got a bollocking for it. I didn't tell him to actually do it, I just told him *how* to do it...

Length? Hard to measure when they're lying on the deck twitching.
