    The business end of my baseball bat.

    Helpful Hint: Coat the top half of the bat with white glue then while the glue is still wet put a heavy coat of craft sprinkles on it. That way you can give the intruder serious eye irritation (from the sprinkles getting in their eyes) as well as a broken nose. I also put stars and Goofy stickers on my bat so I can warn the person that I will beat them until they are goofy. Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at July 11, 2022 8:43 AM MDT

    All I have is a spoon, and the way I can use it can do some real damage.

    I leave out the other door and call the police.

    Good choice. I think I might do the same. (More than my joke answer.)

    I have a bowling pin that I believe could do some real damage and it's easy to hold because of the shape.

    Certainly not me. I am not brave, tough or foolhardy enough to try! It'd almost certainly have to be creep quietly out and ring 999.

    Given that I sleep nude, I'd just present myself that way, then overpower him while he's retching.

    I'd start apologizing. Might throw him/her off their game.

    EDIT: Woops! Attempt to correct grammar error: "Might throw him/her off his/her game."  :)

    I own many guns, but if I didn't, I also own many wicked blades.

    I have numerous items I can use as a weapon if the intruder doesn't have a firearm.
