Nearest weapon to defend yourself

I was going to be immature and say " the nearest weapon is in my pants"

but I looked over and found my dad's 900 page, 10X12, 1941 Webster Dictionary....

What's the nearest self-defense weapon available to you while you read this?

I'm at work, so the closest I have is my folding pocket knife clipped to pants pocket.

My brain, it's just behind my eyeballs

& ditto on the knife

The moniter on my computer. It's and old glass tube model that weighs a freakin ton. I'd just pick it up and throw it at somebody. Even if they aren't doing anything. I just want a new moniter...

utility knife in my pocket, and a few wrenches on the desk. About 10' away is a Dewalt 10amp angle grinder with a 6" cutoff wheel and 50' of cord, an oxy acetylene torch, and about 200lbs of jagged steel scraps... I think I'm good
