There’s a pretty good episode on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother when they make a slap bet and the loser has to take 5 slaps from the winner.\u00a0 They even designate a friend as Slap Commissioner to settle disputes and the loser has to chose between taking them all at once or randomly and unexpectedly.\u00a0 It’s hilarious..<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want that to be a legal right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because people can be sooo stupid.\u00a0 You should be able to just smack them whenever they do an obviously ridiculous act.\u00a0 Just to be able to really give consequences to that person who cut in line, double parked or took FOREVER at a check out counter with questions and complaints!\u00a0 I mean, if there is a consensus of strangers who witnessed said stupid or un-courteous act then the injured party should be able to instantly dispense justice.\u00a0 And if more than one party is injured they should Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who gets the privilege.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved this idea.\u00a0 All the way up to the moment I did something stupid!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait… can we amend this law to exclude all women named Heather?
