Witty retorts

Just seen these two retorts on another forum. :D

 

"When they gave out brains, did you think they said trains and ask for a slow one"?

 

"When they gave out heads you obviously thought they said beds and asked for a kingsize soft one"!

There is a world of difference between being insulting (geneb's posts) and witty retorts (CJ, Havard and others).

I will proberbly come up with a witty retort a couple of days after the thread dies as i normally come up with them as i'm walking away from where it could of been used:(

 

The Germans refer to "witty ideas that arrive just that bit too late" as treppenwitz. The French call it l'esprit d'escalier - "spirit of the stairs".

 

The English don't call it anything.

 

Just in case you were interested :).
