Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

A very nosy drunk guest continued to lean over the bar and touch my bar gear, so after a while and after several warnings, I “unwillingly” do a French cut with my pouring bottle, as the guest’s nose is in my working area, the bottle hits his nose and he falls back. The rest of the night he never stuck his nose into the bar again.
