edit: bought my youngest son one like this (only in red, and better condition, a real £5 ebay bargain)

and he won't let anyone touch it. even he doesn't play with it - he uses it as a cupholder by his bed

Our school bus had those emergency hammers installed so we could smash the windows if the bus crashed. There was a guy in out grade we called "watto" because his surname was watson.
We would sing "tonk watto, tonk watto, tonk watto" to the tune of that titwillow song while we tapped him on the head with those little ball hammers.

It's amazing how the years can turn an incident of brazen bullying into an amusing anecdote.
