I am thinking forward to my daughter's wedding day. Is it socially acceptable for me to give my new son-in-law a nice hard punch to the stomach as a warning to treat my daughter right?
This "ceremonial hit" would be the moment after I finish walking her down the aisle and hand her over to the bridegroom...
goombah, I believe the proper etiquette is a punch to the mouth instead of stomach. Something EVERY father should do to a perspective son-in-law.
But then you have to ask yourself, "Do I really want to look at a son-in-law with a bunch of missing teeth?" If the answer is no, that by default means I could NOT put as much ooomph into the punch, which kind of defeats the whole purpose.
