Clue Bat
-
So I was sitting in a meeting when someone asked how we were going to educate the users to a potentially complex process, I suggest with a clue bat. Six guys looked at me strangely (not an unusual occurrence) but they had no idea what a clue bat is. Next I go on line and see if I can find a foam or rubber clue bat to buy, can't locate one in the usual suspects and google is not helping. Anyone know where I can get a range of clue bats?

Just buy a [Louisville Slugger](http://www.slugger.com/en-us/baseball/wood), and paint "Clue Bat" on it.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

If you can't find a supplier, then perhaps that's an opportunity for you to start manufacturing them? Either way, they should be free issued to those entering the murky world of QA... :~

My philosophy is "there's no such thing as overkill". If someone should be thumped, don't fool around; do it good and proper! (The result is that I thump very few people; zero, in fact. :sigh: )

My grandkids managed not to wreck anything with a rigid foam toy cricket bat. I'm guessing you might find something suitable in a dollar shop. Cheers, Peter

For a small fee, lets say some rare footage of a colleague going postal on his cow-orkers, I would be happy to turn a clue-bat for you made of wood. I'd recommend beech, or maple. :rolleyes: Cheers!

That sounds too much like work, you only need to add a single letter: "
CLouisville Slugger" :-\Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?

After a quick google, I realise that I indeed should! Nice one.

Yeah, after they stopped selling tuits, we must find something else. I was lucky and got hold of about a dozen of them, but they were of the square type, not the round ones, not suitable for everything. And I've only got a few left. Maybe clue bats can replace them, but I sure would like someone to start manufacturing tuits again.
