The Good Humor man can only be pushed so far.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that even someone who is generally kind and easygoing, like the Good Humor ice cream man, has limits to how much they can be tested or taken advantage of before they react in a negative way. It means that even the most patient and good-natured person has a breaking point and can only be pushed so far before they get upset or angry.
