You must ponder this tale carefully, and the meaning will become more accessable to you.
A zen master was offered a glass of iced tea.
The sage recoiled, saying,"This beverage proves
that all white people are crazy!"
"How so, enlightened one?", his student inquired.
"They boil water to make it hot, Grasshopper, then put in ice to make it cold.
"They stir in sugar to make it sweet, then add lemon to make it sour.
"Silly bastards don't know what they want!
"You see the truth!",cried the student
"Betcha ass, numbnuts, now get me a beer, and make yourself scarce.", the old scholar pronounced.
Meditate upon this, and remember, there are many forms of rowboat available to a wise man.

Personally, Ive found the Japanese to be noisy uncouth people, an 11 hour plane trip with a bunch of them confirmed this in my mind, I wish I'd had a copy of the I Ching with me, I'd have knocked a few of them out with it. I'm not confused either, they were definitely Japanese. BTW, anyone ever seen what they get up to on the internet? Repulsive. Just my 2 cents.

When I walk the meanest streets I always take a rowboat with me.
Big ol' thing, eight feet tall, looks like a collection of chrome plated boxes, has red lights for eyes, an antenna on top of its head and steel pincers for hands.
It is very handy in a fight, as bullets bounce off.
In action it appears to be dancing the merengue, but it gets the job done.
I especially like the way the neon lights in its mouth flash as it says,"Yes, Dr. Profundus." in reply to anything I say.
It can play checkers, too, but it loses three games out of five.

Back to business!
Today I found a variation on the design that I had often thought of, but never seen.
Three sections(as usual) the tube grip, a spring and a solid final section with a ball tip.
This looks promising, as the third section often bends on other types, making it impossible to close the darn thing.
It should also be quite a bit heavier than the old Kiyoga, which had an aluminum button tip, the Blitz model,which has no tip at all, or the East German sort, with a small rod in the final section.
Must try one out-the SIPO whip, with it's solid steel button tip is still the most dangerous one I've seen, but it tended to bend if struck on a solid object.
Done right, this could be the most effective variation of them all.
I'll let everyone know what happens.

As a mechanic I've always had a "soft spot" for an eighteen inch long 1/2 inch drive breaker bar. It's always the top item in the tool box I keep in the Ford. It's easy to explain and if I have to use it I can say;"Your Honor, I had to defend myself, I could think of many better items for an offense if that was my intention!"

Do you mean a "Rowbot" by any chance

After reading the entire thread ive decided that perhaps
the cudgel of choice,while maintaining rightful purpose,
structural integrity,and looking much less like a weapon
would have to be about a 20'' length of hydraulic hose.
Really wicked stuff.Nice stainless overbraid with a good flex.
Big threaded connectors optional.
Nothing sinister about that.
Unless of course its caked with gore and matted hair,
in which case you just toss it and are only out seven bucks.
