The benefits of this are obvious - it could be wielded in the same manner that elderly ladies swing their handbags at would-be muggers, usually with excellent results; it might scare off the youths when they think you are a super-fit bodybuilding type; you will actually become quite strong after lugging around the gym bag for awhile.

Kids are dangerous... you need to have a large CD player with Barry Manilow at the ready at all times it's better than Pepper spray. Peace Fr. Dave I was a youth minister for 20 years..

Does it feel like you're working in slow motion? Reference the local youths, threaten to show them your etchings if they don't leave you alone.

You could also probably use the Burnt Umber as some kind of improvised banana skin trap, creating similar comic effects to the cunningly places banana skins in The Beano. or just pretend to be a Klingon.
