My jujitsu instructor told us some time ago during warmups (when we usually have casual class chats) that he met a guy who was being very pompous while talking to my instructor. The instructor asked him, “What do you do?”
The jerk said proudly, “I’m a rapper.”
Ever unimpressed by people’s egos, my instructor said irreverently, “Oh, you must be really busy around Christmas-time, then.”
He said the guy didn’t find it funny.
I thought it was hi-larious.
gift ‘rapper’… bah ha ha ha ha ha ha…
Carlos comes up with clever stuff, just like you do! I need some of that to rub off on me. It take me a day or two later and I will be replaying the event and then something clever hit me.
that’s happened to me, too. so I’d try to bring it up again so someone would go with it in the same direction, and then I culd pretend I JUST came up with that clever comeback. It rarely works, tho.
Heh, I had to re-read that a couple of times before I got it.
I know, just as I was about to write it, I realized it translates so much better as a spoken story. That’s why I tried to help out with the title of the post.
Very funny–wrapper!!
