If you get ahold of a single finger and have a decent grip on it you can bend it backwards until it's laying across the back of the subject's forearm (many attempted rapes have been stopped by this). A hard palm up the nose will stop anyone dead in their tracks.

Moral of the story- don't ever try mugging anyone unless you're packing a firearm or halberd.

ROFL- if anyone ever tried to stick me up with a halberd, I would probably die laughing before they got to me (even through a halberd would do it if I wasn't incapacitated already)!
