How about great comebacks?

My mother had a great one, actually a few.

My poor father made the mistake of saying within earshot of my mother that he wished he had a nickle for every diaper he changed.

"Yeah, then you'd have a dime" my mother told him.

Have any dandies?

A fav of mine especially for those that ask for advice, get it, ignore it and the expected/not so great result happens......

'you get what you get!'

I like it when people ask for advice, or feedback.  I always believe it is a take it or leave it type thing.  But yes, they get what they get.

I've received some great advice mostly from men, but some crucial, crucial good stuff from grandmothers.

The best advice is only told once though.  After that, it is nagging and will be cheapened each time repeated.  

Also, if the advice is given to children, you have to have their eyes, they have to be looking in your eyes when you tell them or else dare I say macht nichts?

I have been called the comeback queen by family and friends.

I have mellowed a little though.

I have learned that tongue in cheek does not work on forums unless accompanied by at least 6 emoticons and a 'just kidding' disclaimer lol.

Many years ago, I was sitting in a booth at a coffee shop, my well-endowed girlfriend half on my lap, half leaning against me, the evidence of her puchritude pressed firmly against the side of my head.

A friend down a couple of booths asked how I was doing, and I replied, with great gusto, "My cup runneth over!"

Then she smacked me smartly on the back of my head............

So how are you getting on now, 50 years later?

My brother - then aged five - was a quick thinker. We were disscussing WWll and he said if there was another war there was no way he would be soldier.

My Dad told him he wouldn't have a choice and he said yes he would because he'd be the man who made the guns.

Dad said, "Yes but then the enemy would come and bomb you"

Master Five thought for a moment then said "No they wouldn't, cos I'd have a big sign up saying 'This is a horseshoe factory'."

My sister at about the same age was playing with our grandparents dog, Grandad told her to stop pulling her tail or she will bite you! Little sister said "Not this end Grandad"
