But what was the old man doing with the frying pan, before he was clobbered?
(KIDDING, KIDDING. Not everything has to be taken at heart attack seriousness, even though it seems that way to us.)
I suppose an enlightened (as to context) response would be something like “unhand me, you are not my husband.”
Actually, I find the frying pan response quite appropriate. Despite that, I think that verbal contact that one does not appreciate is simple petulance over being inconvenienced by that contact.
