I think that was Rudyard Kipling, but I have two suggestions for you, Glenn: 1) Grow yourself some personal space; and 2) Get a pocket watch. I did, and now I don't scratch or bust up my watch crystals anymore. (Don't you wish you could get a watch with a real crystal crystal? Well, that you could actually *afford*?) :)
See you at Pennsic, neighbour.

I dunno, I'm already what, 40 pounds or so larger than I want to be even without adding an invisible buffer zone. ;-) (Okay, so I do have a "personal space" distance for interpersonal stuff, just not with inanimate objects.)
My solution to the wristwatch problem in high school and college was to take the watch off the band and stick it in my pocket. Later, I had a cheap digital thingie from a Dollar Store that I kept in my purse, and now I'm using a cell phone that has a clock built in, so I just pull that out to check the time.
The scary thing is that even a signet ring (no big, protruding stone) used to get bashed into doorways when I wore it.
