In my fantasy world I would have said "allow me to apologize" and then turned to his wife and said "madam, I am truely sorry that you had to be embarassed in public like this by your raging asshole of a husband." Then he would have taken a swing at me, I would have caught his fist with my left hand, then knocked him out with a right cross to the jaw, and gone back to the line to the applause of the crowd.
In reality I probably would have done exactly what you did, stood there dumbfounded and 20 minutes later gotten really pissed off and spent the rest of the night thinking of witty comebacks that I should have used.
