Given the last post, you can understand why I might be a little quick on the punch sometimes. Andy is pretty fast; you have to have lighting quick reflexes. So there have been occasions where I have thrown the erroneous, premature punch.
I know, it IS shameful.
So Andy and I have debated for a long time on this one. We needed to develop some kind of punishment for a punch thrown based on rash and inaccurate observation. But what kind, who and how often?
Enter the tv show How I Met You Mother and the Episode "Slap Bet".
If you haven't seen this show you really have to record it. And you need to find this episode; it is one of the funniest 24.5 minutes of television since Friends. Here is a flavour of Slap Bet; Watch
So, in honour of Slap Bet, I present to you the definition and punishment for a Premature Punch:
A Premature Punch is a punch thrown and connected while calling "Punch-Mini" when the vehicle in question is not actually a Mini Cooper or Mini Cooper S (again, for the sake of Punch-Mini, the Clubman does not, I repeat, DOES NOT count).
The Punchee (the person erroneously pounded) must call out "Premature" in order to initiate the Punch-Mini Punishment Process (PMPP). The Puncher must choose between one of two punishments: 1) 6 punches in succession from the Punchee immediately, or 2) 3 punches from the Punchee at any time following the Premature Punching event. The Puncher and the Punchee are trusted to moderate the situation. The only location suitable for the punch is the shoulder.
So now you know how to handle the Premature Punch. And now that the rules are official, I fear that Andy will be hanging onto his Gold medal performance this year and I will be walking around with a sore shoulder.
