Ouch, I think it physically hurt to read that!

When people say "I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you." I always ask "Can you give me a hint and just beat me up a little?"

One of my moron co-workers said he thought he hit a speed bump but then found out it was me. I just look at him, inhale deeply, cross my fingers, close my eyes real tight for about five seconds, open them and look at him and say "Dammit!" and repeat until he is not there when I open my eyes. It usually works in less than three cycles.

When I'm not in the mood (which is rare) or in a hurry, I give out my little smart handouts to the curious. When they persist with additional questions after I have given them the smart handout, I kindly say, "All your questions are answered on the handout so enjoy the read, Bye!"

Thankfully, I haven't had anyone hell at me or complain. Most importantly, I try to smile during those hurried or moody moments. Generally, I give them out to folks when I'm chatty and enjoying the attention. Try it - you'll like it! Regina

Just today someone made the remark, "I sure hope you don't get in an accident in that!"

I replied, "I sure hope you don't get in an accident in your vehicle either."

Should have clarified that, I guess.

You are all absolutely right. A friendly enquiry deserves a friendly response.

Why does the word Taser come to mind??

Hey, enjoy the smart and educate the receptive ones.

I just tell them that I'm a Motorcyclist.

Yeah, good thing it wasen't my wife driving the smart. She's a little on the trigger happy side.

ABSOLUTELY! I can't count the number of times someone (usually my wife) will get exasperated and say "You know what I meant!" - to which I invariably reply "No, I only know what you said."
