yeah, it has to be violently physical, or at least metaphorically so
interpreatable:

*Alex hauled off and played his piano
*?Alex hauled off and played seventy-two different versions of "Comin' 'Round
the Mountain" on his piano
?Alex hauled off and pounded out seventy-two different versions of "Comin'
'Round the Mountain" on his piano

Haul off and kiss that gal!
?Haul off and kiss my ass!
*?You may now haul off and kiss the bride.
