You must be nicer than I ...
        5. Reach up and grab his face.  The pinky in the eye comes to mind.
        And pull down.

Now seriously.  If your in a headlock... Its life & death.

        Shift your torso so's your facing into him, and with your other arm
lift up on his legs.  (This is quite simple he is standing above you.)
and shift to a front stance with the knee under his back .. and let go...

        Works great.  And you will never have to fend the fool off again.
Now please mind .. the may not be the best of solutions.  But it works,
permanently.

..
No replays please .. I've heard it all before.
