The whole world must wait now for the fairer sex to be the birds and bees aggressor and make the “first move”. The male receiver can either accept the move, or reject it. Unlike Jenni Hermoso though, he won’t be seeking satisfaction from the courts or the police if the “act” wasn’t expected or invited. Or if, upon reflection, he decides he never wanted it to happen in the first place.
NFN but Don Rickles, in two of the most hilarious acts in TV talk show history, violently and unwantedly did this to Frank Sinatra twice in close comedic succession.
Yeah—Old Blue Eyes could have objected, or claimed this was assault and splattery.
Instead, he just let Rickles and his outrageous acts slide. Just as did that nurse in Times Square in August 1945. And
time and society simply marched on.
One night, Sinatra walked down the aisle toward a seat in the audience as Rickles was doing his act on stage. Rickles noticed and said, "Oh, Frank, nice of you to join us." The audience turned to look, and Rickles continued, "Frank, go ahead and make yourself at home. Punch someone." Sinatra erupted in laughter.
On another occasion, Rickles had asked Sinatra to stop at his table in a restaurant and say hello so he could introduce Sinatra to impress his dinner date. When Frank did so, Rickles brushed him off, saying, "Frank, beat it. Can't you see I'm with someone."
