Best retort

[inlinefour]

OK guys, whats your best retort for the statement "Oh so you're a temporary kiwi then" when you tell people you ride a bike? I hate that statement and I hear it quite a lot.

I tend to use the old gem "Yep especially with brain surgeons like you on the road". So what do you say?

Do you have two dicks? Cause you can't be that stupid playing with just one. Its idiots like yourself who make us temporary.

I like the I was born here, will have to use that one...

I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

With the current government, yes.

may-be i should be working on a few irish curses for the cagers when they say that:

1) may the roof of your car fall in
2) may the cat eat your car and may the devil eat the cat
3) a red nail in the tounge that said it
4) may you be broken over the manawatu gorge
5) may the devil swallow your car and yourself sideways

mostly though i let a wee grin come over me face with a twinkle in my eye...

[What?]

Usual retort: We're all temporary.

Effective retort: Why don't you ask the kids in the Starship cancer ward for their opinion on that?

usally just look them square in the eye and say "what do you mean?" then listen to the uneducated bullshit that dribbles out of their mouths, keeps me amused for a couple of minutes.

I hate that statement so much I want to make the user look real foolish so you've given me some great cannon fodder.

Keep em comin!!!

"If I had wanted to hear from an arsehole, I would have farted"

[pritch]

Used to cop that occasionally, usually accompanied by a silly sort of knowing grin. More of a "know fuck-all" grin really.

It's right up there with that one,
"All you need to ride a motor bike is size eleven boots and a size three helmet."

One advantage of being an old fart, I'm probably older than the dick heads who would normally say these things, so the thought probably doesn't occur to them.

"If I had wanted to hear from an arsehole, I would have farted"

Appologies to bill hicks:

With all the advantages in medicine they'll soon be able to fix us most of the time we get hit. Replace the organs fix us up andwe'll be all better. Those kiwis who live a healthy life will die of nothing.

In 40 years they'll be in a bed dying and the doctor will say "shit, if only you'd smoked or rode motorcycles we'd be able to help ya"

Replace the organs fix us up andwe'll be all better.

they have just managed to grow a bladder in a lab, so more complex organs cant be that far off!

havent exactly had that question asked, but when people find out i ride, i kinda get looked at funny.....my usual comment at such a time is "id rather die on the road doin somethin i love, than die old and in a bed!"

which is the honest to god truth. my bike and i will die together....of that i am certain. and i for one will welcome in the embrace of the reaper when he calls.

no one gets out alive...
