I think you'd better go back to the "lucky I apologized" line. Probably some part of
your brain was evaluating the consequences of a well-aimed kick to the nose and just
how easy it would be to deliver such a kick to a belligerent inn-keeper as he's
trying to get out the door of a Piper. Betcha the guy on the outside of that door had
already worked that out, too.
