Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Give
me your hand, and let me feel your pulse.
Pinch
The Comedy of Errors
Act IV, Scene iv,
Line 52
Okay, I’m not familiar with this Pinch fellow,
but I’d like to say that anyone who has any trouble understanding today’s line,
well then they don’t speak English very well. The response is even better
though. It’s from Antipholus of Ephesus.
There is my hand, and let it feel your ear. [striking him] Slapstick. It’s as old as the hills. Or at least, apparently, as old as Shakespeare.

Here you go. You can't get more classic slapstick than this. Just like Shakespeare!

That seems like a pretty escalated response to simply asking to feel someone's pulse.
Well, there's a bit of context missing. If you saw the whole play you'd understand why Antipholus is slapping people at this point.
