Ethical Question

So, I'm in the library and there's a guy seven feet away from me who's taken two calls in four minutes. The question: how bad would it be to start chucking those tiny golf pencils (that they keep around for you to write down call numbers and such) at his head if he takes another one?

Not only is it acceptable, it's required. Do you want me to sharpen them first?

very ethical

Do it. You owe it to academia.

The ethicality is actually directly proportional to the sharpness and velocity of the pencil.

If you had a launcher and a needle-sharp pencil of doom, you would be required to do so by Kant's Categorical Imperative.
