[quote="bluejayway"]I have a colleague who has a scar just the shape of 'glass to the temple' and for ages assumed he had good stories. When I nudged to hear it turned out he had had a brain tumor. Whoops.

How does the mug handle help? Are you staying around to twist it in their flesh? I suppose that's a perk of being a big dude. I would be more inclined to get out after drawing blood, should it come to that.

Also, phil's altoid tips are good. In my five days on non-stop interviews last week I mentally thanked him repeatedly.[/quote

You use the heavy part of the mug to knock their jaw out of socket. (Never seen it myself, but my bro-in-law recounted the worst bar fight he'd ever seen for me, and I never forgot that move) It's up there with a cupped hand to each ear..aka blwing your eardrums.
