The world has become much too serious over the past few decades, so I think it's high time we took back having a good sense of humor. When growing up in he 60's I had become addicted to Mad Magazine like most kids my age. I thought one of the best recurring segments that magazine had was, "Snappy answers to stupid questions." When you think about everyday usage of our language, you can't help but not want to reply in a snappy fashion. Quick wit is surely becoming a dying art form in today's society.
For all intends and purposes this thread is broken down into snappy answers, and great comeback lines. Please note that there is a slight difference between the two. I'll start off by giving an example of each and hope to see some of your little treasures too
Snappy answers
Q - Does this bus go over the George Washington Bridge?
A - I hope not.. I hope it goes across the bridge
Comebacks
When I was a Jr in HS I had very long hair and had to cut it substantially for my grandmother's funeral. When I returned to school one teacher asked, "Did you get hit by a lawn mower?" Well the class did have a good laugh on me, but that was no problem. A few weeks later that same teacher was telling a story about what happened over the weekend. He and his wife were on a drive, stopped at a red light his car was struck from behind and his wife's wig feel off. Within 2 seconds I blurted out, "What's the matter, your wife's bald?" The class had their best laugh of the year and I failed that course..
I still look back at that and other times I have opened my mouth and still have no regrets about what I said. Believe it or not, I still laugh at many of my 100's of antics
Shoot me some tales, snappy answers, or comebacks... I'd love to hear them.

Well, we ended up getting pulled over. The cop got out of his car and came to our car. "You realize you have a flat, right?" he asks, and Chug says yes, but we are close to home, and we have no spare. Well, the cop says "You can't keep driving like that, your car is tearing up the road!" I didn't even stop to think, I just blurted out"Well the road is tearing up our car!" This is the one and only time Chug said "shut your F%$&#ng mouth, your going to get us arrested!" We can laugh about it now, and my kids love that story!!!!!The cop ended up being really cool, and gave us a ride back to our apartment so that we could get our other car, and a spare tire!!!!!
