Too old to be punched in the head by a customer who exception to Bauman's questions.
Does this sentence make any sense?
Sometimes, when the sentence doesn't make sense, I look for a misprint or an omission. I've also learned to analyze the context in order to arrive at the proper contents when what's in front of me doesn't make sense.
In the context of what was being said, I read that statement as "Too old to be punched in the head by a customer who took exception to Bauman's questions.".
The context is important and it led me to conclude that something was missing from the sentence or statement. A missing word is sometimes what happens when your typing gets ahead of what you're thinking. However, proofreading is a writer's best friend.
