EDIT:Damn he wins.....


snipped......"Some have claimed that this phrase has its origins in a British common law rule which, supposedly, allowed husbands to beat their wives with a stick no thicker than their thumb. The British common law is part of a legal tradition which was a continuously evolving set of rules, set out in decisions on cases brought in English common law courts. It forms a large part of the basis of modern English and American law, as well as influencing the law in other, less important places. "

I never claimed to be right. I was just saying what I remembered it as.
