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?

Nothing, if that was her intention.......howver, had she wanted a giraffe, she would have ended up after 50 years with a spotted Brontosaurus..........

In her later teens, my daughter was fond of telling me, after a disagreement, to, "Bring it on."

 

About the third time, I responded with, "Honey, if I bring it, you're going to wish I left it at home!"

After a very long and grueling labor with my youngest sister, my mother complained to my father about how horrible it was.

 

He said, "At least you had something to do."  

 

So when the hospital bill came my mother kept it and waited until my dad was paying bills.  She slapped it down on the table and said, "There, now you've got something to do".

One of mine.

 

We were in Las Vegas for a wedding and the sister of the bride said to me out of the blue, "Have you noticed every time you light up I walk away?"

 

I said "Have you noticed when I light up?"

lol, a few years ago I decided to stop being so agreeable and say no, if that is what I really wanted to say.

Recently my OH said "so how is that working for you?"

I told him "much better than it is for you!!"
