Thread Name: BS: The Quick Retort
Subject: RE: BS: The Quick Retort
I can't think of a single thing I've said to anyone, but I know I've done it. I often think of what I could have said 10 minutes after it's too late. I can only do the quick retort, one liner thing with friends as I almost always say it because it's funny and not to seriously wound anybody. Friends (like Kendall and Big Mick) will understand that under the comments, I respect them, and hopefully they'll laugh...and missing an opportunity is a sin.

My father did link to zing people with no perceivable sense of humor. He once got my aunt. She said she had to wash her hair, and he asked "Are you going to take it off first?" She eventually developed a sense of humor purely out of self defense. I think that's why I developed one too, only I lived with the guy, so it happened much earlier.

Kendall, I was just waiting for you to post!
