Zombie Killin' tools, or "What's on your side table right this minute?"

That meme about the thing on your immediate left being your only weapon available in a zombie apocalypse just landed back in my mailbox (what can I say, I have family that like to forward everything in sight, thank god I don't facebook). 

 

On my immediate left is a lazy cat and a cushion, so I'd pretty much be out of luck. 

 

BUT: If the zombies approach from the right, they may well be crushed by the teetering pile of books I am building a tower with there! So I survive after all!

 

Alternatively I can strangle them with my headphone cable.

 

So what's on your side table nearest horizontal surface? And could you kill a zombie with it?
