Considering Tower Shield specifically can't be used as a weapon, no, that wouldn't be very effective at all.

im sure you can find a homebrewed one... or take levels in drunken fighter or whatever. the one that gives you improved improvised weapon and you get drunk and fight HARDER

i find that the tower shield also makes a good sled in a pinch

Yeah, tower can't be used to bash. As an alternative, extreme shields, from Races of Stone, is halfway between a large shield and tower (AC +3, no penalty to attack), and the book suggests the DM to allow a fighter to replace his starting tower shield proficience to any other exotic shield in that book.
