Joke.
My buddy had gotten a job in a posh part of town. He told me that one of the unexpected benefits was that every woman he saw was dressed to impress with perfect hair, makeup, and clothing.
"Joe, you gotta get over this sick fetish you have for women who bathe every day."
Waiting tables, this is for real. 90% of the women I see are made up for date night^*^ and all my coworkers are more attractive than average.
^*^ but not the men, many fewer men dress up for dates than women do
A young woman I knew was complaining that she had made plans to meet a friend in the city (long before most people had mobile phones), but the friend hadn't showed up so she waited for a long time on the street corner.
My brother immediately chipped in, "what was his name, John?"
I am too stupid to get it, tbh. Is that a movie quote / reference?
A John is also the customer of a prostitute. (at least in the USA)
Ahh okay, I did not know that.
Saturday before Easter... 17 or 18 year old kid was going on and on about how he couldn't wait to get home so he could play Call of Duty all night, and this and that... lots of swearing, lots of talk about shooting and destruction.
Me: "I dunno man, don't you have to be in bed early so the Easter Bunny will come?"
My nephew was trash talking me about Mario Kart talking about how he'd smoke me because he had been playing it so long.
My reply "I was playing this before you were born"
My friend said, “He’s so insane he must have lead pipes for plumbing.”
Tried a new Italian place in town and told everyone at work it was: "Chef Boyardee at Olive Garden prices"
I hope you stub your toe and it really really hurts.
In highschool I was in shop class with some idiots that were messing around with a running table saw. The teacher saw the obvious kick back danger and swooped down on them with an angry "Hay! Do you want to have kids?!". Before I could stop myself I said "Damn, you should at least buy them dinner first."
He was not amused, but I am still proud of the one time in my life I was quick witted enough to come up with something funny on the spot. It's been so years 30 years since, and nothing has come close.
Not me, but a friend. She got insulted by a drunk female nazi who happened to be... Ugly as fuck,not only because her ideology.
Very calm and mannered she simply told her:"Excuse me, Ma'am, as I midwife I feel professional inclined to forward an important piece of advice to your dear mother: Usually you throw the afterbirth away and keep the baby,not vice versa. "
My favorite all-time insult was laid upon me by my soon-to-be ex:
"Well look at you! You ain't nothin'! You're scrawny, you're an alcoholic and if you didn't have such a big dick you wouldn't be worth nothin'!"
Never had an insult shut me the fuck up, instantly. I mean, that really hit home.
Not me but in way back in high school I saw a comeback I'll never forget. I'll call them John and Bob.
John was teasing Bob in a mock flirting way. Bob was uncomfortable and told John to stop it.
John says "what's the matter, aren't you secure in your sexuality?"
Bob instantly replies "absolutely, but I'm not secure in yours"
If ignorance is bliss, you must be euphoric.
