Really Big Stick


ITEM: Multi-purpose stick

LENGTH: 32 inches

CONDITION: As usual, dusty. But good. Strong, sturdy.

MATERIAL: Unknown. Looks weird.

ORIGIN: Unknown

USABILITY: 100% guaranteed. But depends on what you use it for. Good as a simple weapon or a walking/trekking stick. Also an effective anti-rabid dog implement. Can crack coconuts. Durians maybe not.

PRICE: RM350


THE STORY: Back when my father was on the regular Rukun Tetangga neighbourhood watch, this was his weapon of choice. He swears by it. Once in a while, when Bible sellers or broucher-wielding, free-gift peddlers come by, I just swing it in their general direction and they mostly get the hint. Very useful. And you know what they say, "speak softly but carry a big stick."

NOTE: Please don't make jokes about the owner compensating for some inadequacy.

That's a fine piece of wood, it's a bargain because they destroyed a whole tree just to make it. I can't wait to start busting heads with it.
