Back in the dim, dark, distant past, the SCA used to have a booth and 
do melees at the Texas Renaissance Festival near Houston. Typically 
the melees would start out as two teams, but inevitably <G> quarrels 
would break out among the survivors on the winning team, until there 
was only one fighter left.

At that point, one of the ladies (ideally the smallest and 
daintiest-looking) who had been working as a crowd marshal would step 
onto the field brandishing a broom or a rolling pin and start beating 
her "husband" about the head and shoulders for being a lazy bum, not 
doing his chores, spending all his time out with the guys, etc. The 
crowds loved it.
