Of a big man: "He was made when meat was cheap."
In our family we used a number of stock answers. If a kid asked, "When ...?" (when do we eat? when will be there? when will I get my turn? whatever) the answer was "Tuesday." If a kid asked, "Where is my ...?" (baseball glove, shoe, homework, jacket, whatever the kid should have been responsible for and no one else even likely to know) the answer was, "It was delicious."
