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, 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.

I actually want to be able to thump someone without damaging them.

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.  )

As Churchill would say, "Thump them once. Then come back and thump them again. Then thump them a third time - a tremendous whack."

I believe that eccentric point of view requires further clarification.

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?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

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... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Not bad, but I find this one[^] scarier (esp. if you look at the "Frequently Bought Together" section).

It could be worse - the list could include an old carpet, a shovel, and quicklime.

Ah, so that's who/what this "Lucille" is.
Someone else referred to her/it, earlier, but I had no idea what he was talking about.

You really need to start watching the Walking Dead.
No matter where you go, there you are...~?~

I watched most of the first three seasons.
That was more than enough to determine that it's utter cr@p.
