A quandry: woman at wedding with camera

[MacConnachie]

A well-placed verbal putdown, in a break in the music, and in the presence of others, will often serve to clip the wings (or the horns) of those who might otherwise be unembarassable or inconvincible (sorry if it seems as though I'm making up adjectives, here).

Something like, "You know, I find it intriguing that there are as many eedjits in the world so remarkably impressed with their own lack of cleverness." This approach may be too wordy, and perhaps overly subtle.

Of course, if they are intent on making asses of themselves, all the more reason to ***-ist them, no? A suggestion that they traipse down to the men's locker-room of the local athletic club for a more open view of a bunch of men's hairy backsides may be just the ticket. There, they can be assured of meeting up with any number of attitudes more in keeping with their sophomoric intentions.

I've been propositioned by unsober married "ladies" in settings that might otherwise have been extremely embarassing or compromising. I've either called them on it within earshot of their mate or friends, or suggested that I buy them another drink. I intend on making certain that it's double-plus strength, and secretly hope that they, as a consequence, have an URK-K-K-some night praying to the porcelain god, and a big fat achin' heid the following morning. Regardless, just the excuse of going to the bar on their behalf will give one the moment necessary to slip away, or engage someone else in more reasonable conversation.

No one is a full blooded Scot, whatever that is. Think about it. That's like saying being a full blooded American. What the heck does that mean? That your parents are Americans? That their parents both were? Trust me, even Jesus was not 100% Jewish, (Ruth was a Moabitess=gentile, not a Jew) but that does not make him less a Jew. Sheesh. Sorry, I ranted again.

I feel for ya, buddy.

Besides, just tell her that, although you are not a full-blooded Scot, you did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night....

Or...

Though you are not a full blooded Scot, your lower half is...

Or....

? (c'mon guys, you can come up with something better than me!)

Bless, Father!

THIS is the best comeback I've ever heard to that question!

I will definitely be using this the next time I have the opportunity!

[Prester John]

Yeah, I can't wait to use it.

On another note, our kilts just arrived about 2 hours ago. My oldest son hasn't taken it off yet.

I guess I know what to get him for Christmas.

Ugh, and I have 3 boys.
