(81,297 posts)So I told them if I ever had to take them in and put them up in our spare bedroom, they'd discover my welcome present would be having Pox Noise removed from my cable package.
The best I've ever done is illicit the pansy-ass retort "well
I don't know
"
Which is usually what they say when they have nothing else to say or can't rebut my argument or don't feel like arguing any longer. Because they've tired of me, or the argument, or both, I guess. So then I simply smile and chuckle and say "well, THAT'S certainly true!"

(7,809 posts)But it's pure gold:
"Why didn't they do or say anything about abortion when they had both houses and the Presidency from 2001 to 2007?"
I think I'll use it.
Often.

(50,983 posts)They love it as an issue.
But I can't imagine what the Republicans hope to gain from this radical anti abortion stance.

(150 posts)I liked several of these but was struck by Number 8. I do think a candidate's physical attractiveness or unattractiveness should be used to score political points (even though I realize this probably played a large part in her selection). I do not think these kinds of statements are humorous.
Walk away
(9,494 posts)He even lied about how much the State would make and screwed up our budget big time. Adelson's big issue (besides Israel) is anti-online gaming.
How did these two get together???
