I'm so sorry that you had to go through something like that in those circumstances. We've had a couple of "family incidents" at funerals in the past few years...I don't know why some people feel that they can get away with such behavior in such sad social circumstances but it seems to me to just be another example of the loss of civility that's been going on for some time now.

I suppose that (hindsight being 20/20) you might have just said, "Sir, this is hardly an appropriate time to engage in a discussion of this nature. I'd be happy to talk to you after the internment." Not that you would be happy to talk to him...

Hope your "assault with a deadly weapon" doesn't get you hauled into court but I'm sure that most judges would not only kick the charge, they'd probably ask you why you only hit him with the tenor drone and didn't just let him have it with the entire set of pipes.

Best
