...sitting here thinking about this topic, a visual came to mind...
I remember a skit from an old television show called 'Laugh-In' - where this old geezer is trying his best to assist this prudish lady - who pummels him severely with her handbag.
He would usually groan and fall over.
(It's been quite a few years, and so I may not remember the skit completely - or properly...)
