    Peelee was probably referencing the famous legal adage that "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins". It turns out that it is one of those quotes that gets attached to a bunch of people, though, so not sure who Peelee had in mind specifically.

    The point remains, regardless of who actually came up with it, that not touching is not an assault. Contact must be made for an assault.

    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
