Title: Witty comebacks to dumb questions/statements...
Post by: Ms Grace on April 27, 2015, 03:09:43 AM
Fight ignorance, rudeness & stupidity with wit I say!! ;)

Them: Have you had the operation?
Me: Yes, I had my appendix removed when I was six.

What witty comebacks might you have for dumb questions (real or imaginary)?

Not really a stupid question ... but when people leer, I ask if they want an autographed 8by10

Them: "So, are you gay?"
Me: "I'm married to a woman, so I am in a homosexual relationship.  That's pretty gay, right?"

Comment I once made to try and get rid of a guy that wouldn't get the hint..

"There's 2 pairs of balls at this table and that's one more than I like."

It didn't work.

One I sort of regret.

In my early days of transition, an obese woman and man seeing me in Ikea. As they were  walking towards me.

"Oh that's a man"

Me confronting them.

"I was born with a defect that is being corrected, you are fat and ugly what is your excuse?"

Ye I do regret it; but it felt good at the time.

I'm pretty pre-transition still so I answer the gay question with "not yet". 

As soon as I get my license changed in my state, I'll be in a lesbian marriage!

This is one I wish I'd used the other day when asked at the gym...

Gym: Do you have documentation of surgery...?
Me: Appendectomy, Tonsillectomy, Boob Job? Please be specific...

Here's a good one I saw on cracked.com.  The original comment was this:

"I don't see why women should be forced to share the toilets with men just because a small community of freaks demand it."

And response:

"Actually, I think you're right. I also don't see why women should be forced to share the toilets with transmen just because a small community of freaks (i.e. transphobes) demand it."

Offline and in person, I'm just not quick or very good with my words.

guy: Are those things real?

OK, I can't resist pointing out that my pre-teen sense of humor was permanently warped by Mad Magazine's "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" - click here (https://www.google.com/search?q=mad+snappy+answers+to+stupid+questions&rlz=1CAASUA_enUS628US628&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=0uJkVbqYIMrHsAXi14GIAw&ved=0CB4QsAQ&biw=1162&bih=486) for some classic examples...

I've got a handbag full of comebacks, i'll let you decide if they're witty or not

Whilst leaving a supermarket someone cried out "you've got tits!!", I grabbed them in shock & exclaimed "There must have been a mix up at the checkout, i'll have a word with management"

"I wouldn't shag that" exclaims one ignorant man
"I know you wouldn't, i've got standards you know!"

"Have you had the op?"
"Have you? You really should sue them"

When one man spat in my face I calmly replied "For future reference I charge a one drink minimum before exchanging bodily fluids, unfortunately for you that one drink would be a keg of vodka"

"Have you had The Surgery yet?"

"I don't normally talk about my genitalia to strangers."



"Don't you want to go to Heaven?"

"Well that would be between myself and god, wouldn't it?"

(That shut her up...but the next time I saw her she started in on the god stuff again, and I said, "I don't think you can speak for god" and she replied "OH YES I CAN!")

*sigh*

Here are some of mine

"Why do you need those things on your ears?"

my reply "what do you think happens if i remove your brain? doubt it would do anything though you don't seem to have one"


"are you a boy or girl"

me: "that depends, are you a ***hole or a idiot?"

Contractor: "So you totally pulled a Bruce Jenner?"
Me: "No, she pulled a Jill F."

Wife's drunken idiot of a law partner: "So, you, umm, didn't have those last time I saw you.  Are those fake?"
Me (with plenty of witnesses laughing hyserically): "Yes, they are... just like you.  F***. Off."
(She royally apologized the next day.  I did not.)

A complete stranger saw me on street. He turned around just to say

- Mother ->-bleeped-<-er!

I have a wit for it, just don't feel like responding anymore. I walked away like nothing happened. Must be I am getting old.

- Sorry, not adopting. (implying he's just a kid looking to score someone for his mum)

With apologies to Steve Martin - Theodoric of York Medieval Barber

What causes this?

Me - You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought this was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that I'm suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in my stomach.
