Instead of quoting everybody else, I wanted to make this thread for new, original comebacks to those all to familiar, lame comments.
Here’s just a few of mine; at least I haven’t heard them before. (I’ve used them both and got laughs each time; you just have to say these with a smile and a playful delivery)
Them: “Where’s your other wheel?”
Me: “It got all worn out, like that joke!”
Them: “Is the circus in town?”
Me: “Yeah, and their lookin’ for clowns like you!”
Them: Where’ the rest of your bike?"
Me: “Where’s the challenge in that?”
Them: “couldn’t you afford two wheels?”
Me: “Couldn’t you afford a joke writer?”
Lots of thieves at the school I went to… pretty much 85-90% of the school smoked, and at least 50% of those people smoked pot or were dealers. With a good percentage of them being thieves too.
Can’t ride a bike to school or you get your tires slashed while it’s locked up.
That’s one I’m never sure how to answer. It’s not really an insult, but it’s still a pretty dumb question. I usually just kinda shrug and say, “Too much practice.”
“I started by dragging my hand along a wall for balance, while I concentrated on pedaling smoothly. I got real good at it, and one day I got bored with waiting for the scabs on my hands to heal, and just started riding.”
3 Isn’t that dangerous Grandpa ?
“Yeah, I’d dye my hair, but then if I really gave a shit, I’d wear a helmet.”
4 Hey, you’re getting really good at that.
" Thanks, yeah , I’m still fat, but man , you know, it’s a cool way to exercise. Like whoa, now I’m jogging backwards."
