(Chance inventories his wall...)

Or, if you want to go the more modern route, how about a TOW missile,
an M-72 LAW rocket ("yo Ted...I'm here to lay down the LAW!!"), Browning
M2 .50 cal....M59 or M26 grenade...Hell...how about an 81mm Mortar??
If you're into gravity, how about dropping a 300 lb. AN/GRC-8 tank
radio on him from the balcony at "Tara"? Aim carefully. I ain't packin' it up
the stairs twice.

Nah...they're all too noisy and you'd wake Jane. Stick with the cutlery.

(Unless you want to do it Razor and T-Bone style. A friend in the states
  has an F-86 and an A-6 at his disposal. They could perform a fly-past in
  tribute to Ted's business acumen and then do a Valu-Jet into the veranda
  at the last moment. Works for me.)
