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.

Dude I can't speak for everyone, but it seems to me that if someone tore my ear off that I would have to break their God damn neck. Which, by the way, is the weakest part of the body.
