So when can I punch someone?
The title for this blog, as is possibly quite unsurprising, comes from a drunken man who I overheard at the bar last week. He was so intoxicated that he said he couldn’t remember what a Gerbil looked like or what kind of thing jam was mostly made of, but that’s beside the point. The point is that he was having a small row with his girlfriend and I had been listening in carefully, leaning on the bar in such a way that I could hear everything almost perfectly. At least with the music blaring it sounded small, but if you’d have turned the music off suddenly, who knows? It may well have been large and very scary (the girl certainly was, but moving swiftly on…).
And he had a point. When can you punch someone? If your girlfriend is talking about looking for primary teaching jobs one minute and the next she’s being hit on by two guys at once, is that really acceptable? I know I wouldn’t like it.
If I was in government then I would propose a simple law: if someone cracks onto your girlfriend you get to punch them once very hard in anywhere but the face or neck or groin of heart. Everywhere else is fair game. Sure, it might result in a few fights and disturbances, but a man’s dignity is worth more than that, right? Well, I for one happen to think so! Let’s give the man on the street his power back, yes?
