Hi, Paul Quinn!
I read your message from 01.08.2017 01:51

 ak>> Well, suppose it is a film script. Maybe this way:
 ak>> --------------
 PQ> Ooh, I have seen this flick: the girl is from an Italian family,
 PQ> with long-ish dark curly hair done 'up' at the back, with overdone
 PQ> makeup & lipstick, and, large glasses. Mr Woulf has arrived by
 PQ> taxi, which is now waiting for him at the curbside as he enters the
 PQ> shop. (He is actually on his way to the airport but felt the need
 PQ> for an apple.) A sudden craving for an apple has overtaken him. He
 PQ> does not yet know that the last apple in the shop is no longer
 PQ> available for sale.

No, he wanted just to buy a bottle of Cola. ;) But he needed to declare his 
presence.

 PQ> Now Mr Woulf is confronted with an inattentive sales assistant,
 PQ> engrossed in her reading of a cheap romance novel. What to do? He
 PQ> will have to interrupt the girl with a cough. Perhaps two coughs.
 PQ> So, he interjects the silence by commencing a coughing attack...

Why "coughing attack"? It was a safe, artificial double coughing. He could have 
said "Hello?" or "Knock-knock!", but he attracted the girl's attention  in 
other way.

Bye, Paul!
