Sleepy:

You mean this guy was in Asia at the time and he was a healthcare professional and didn't help?   Stay away from this person.  Good Lord! What an N.  Patz

Why wouldn't JC ride a moped?

Mudpup: Although I'm not religious I've always had agreat respect and liking for good ol' JC. I see him as more of a Harley man though... Can't you see it? Long hair and beard flowing in the wind (being who he is, he wouldn't need a helmet), a pair of cool shades, as he rushes to help the next person on his list....

Yes yes yes again Sleepy! But I think he would wear a helmet, so that others would follow his example (very bad pun on the helmet of salvation here, mudpup you're contagious, ouch).

No worries Patz! I've stayed as far away as I can get, since he came back.

Hi guys,

Actually probably neither a moped nor a Harley. After all when he was walking on the water he wasn't in a Chris Craft or a Sea Ray.

But I bet he wore Birkenstocks    

or L.L. Bean Duck Shoes

Swinging back a few pages, Cadbury wrote that nobody ever says:

"Well, yes I've been tracing back my family tree and I've found that I am a true descendant of Frank the Stupid. You know that King who lost an empire, f@*cked up the lives of his whole country and then died in an act of auto-erotiscism? That was my great-great-great-great grandpa!!"

What a way to die!!!!  

Too funny Cadbury!!

Ok.....I'll admit it.  I've heard that my great, great, great, ancestors were horse theives who ran away from their homeland to avoid being imprisoned for their theivery!!

For this sole reason I have kept away from horses.

Does Glencoe count? Ugh. One of my ancestors was apparently one of 'those' Campbells by lineage.

Something was wrong with my car the other day and I had to call out a motoring organisation, and the car was soon fixed.  I told my dad, and said that I had not bothered to tell the mechanic the whole story, just that the car wouldn't start.

Dad replied; 'Well, it is easier for you to pretend ignorance, not being a man.'  and 'You can get away with that kind of thing.'  

I tried to say that it was not about ignorance, but omitting/ignoring superfluous detail, but he kept saying the same thing, over and over.  He sounded rather pleased with it.

October, I am feeling very wicked today.

October's NDad: "It is easier for you to pretend ignorance, not being a man."

October's chorus of supporters on this board: "At least she would be pretending! In your case the ignorance is entirely authentic."

'Scuse the snarkiness on your behalf, ma'am. It's kindly meant.

Ooooooh, October, my ex used to do that same kind of thing....the repetetive "hey, I said something clever, did you notice, I said something that I'm pleased with, hey, did you hear that witty remark I just made? Huh? huH?, so I'll just say it again in case you didn't hear" thing. And the more mean spirited or sexist or rude it was, the prouder he would be with it.  UGGHH on your behalf!!! and "eeeeew" too!

I have a bad habit of agreeing (sarcastically) to such comments, and even adding to them.  In my case, it might have gone something like:

Him:  "It is easier for you to pretend ignorance, not being a man."

Me:  "Oh yes!  You're absolutely right!  Men never pretend ignorance!  Woman are the experts at that and very believable!!"

Him:  "It's just so much easier for you, not being a man."

Me:  "Uh huh.  And I like it that way.  Do it all the time.  Just for laughs!"

Him:  "You can pretend ignorance better because you're not a man."

Me:  "For sure.  And I can pretend all kinds of unmanly things too!!!"

The thing is....a lot of the time.....they seem to take me seriously and believe what I'm saying.  All while I'm giggling away inside thinking:  "What a dopey doo dad!"

Pun intended.

GFN: Here I thought you only had one functioning brain cell this evening. You're sooo funny.  Could I hire you to come up with things for my ex to hear?

[Anonymous]

Well ...let's see Mum:

Seeing as sarcasm is passive aggression....and since I'm not emotionally involved with your x.......

It probably wouldn't been too hard for me to deal with him, depending on certain circumstances (I mean...if I senced a reason to be afraid of him...it might be a different story).

I find it a whole lot easier to come up with what seems like the right thing/s to say when I don't have any real emotional connection to a person.  I can think clearer without letting my emotions interfere as much.

Often...when I just don't know what to say....I'll just agree with them and it shuts them up.  How can you argue with someone who's agreeing with you?

And if I agree in such a way that anyone listening would probably laugh....well then....it works for me.

Sometimes though....I am so shocked   or confused by what is being said...that I feel totally at a loss for words.

I was taught:  "When in doubt....say nothing".

Or, when you totally do not agree with someone but you don't want to get into a struggle:

"Oh really??"  is a good response.  Indicate you don't believe a word, when the correct tone is used.  They will just keep on talking and talking and you can just keep on saying:  "Oh really?".  Sometimes, they get the message.

Wellllll...that's the end of my tricks.  After that......I haven't got a clue.

I still love the joke I heard recently......

Look the person straight in the eye and ask:  "What sex are you?"

And then laugh like heck, when they answer!!!  

Get's 'em every time.

By the way,  I call my response in those types of conversations:

N-ulating.

Hey, that sounds so familiar!  I never really thought about it, but a long-term boyfriend I had did that exact same thing.  He would make a joke and then be mad if I didn't laugh hard enough.  After awhile I realized he wasn't trying to entertain me-- he was just doing a roadshow. I was the audience.  His favorite were puns, which sort of sit there, not moving the conversation along, and he would do about 10 in a row.  Sothe whole conversation was about his puns. Now I still feel assaulted by puns when I hear them...

Oh, and I remember he used to ask me which of the long line of puns was "best!"  I was supposed to grade him.  

Wow.  You guys help me realize to what extent N encounters have dominated my life
