"What's the occasion?"

[Nighthawk]

I still love, "My cajones made parole."

Yesterday, my boss was teasing me about me wearing an Iron Maiden t shirt with a kilt. Fridays are casual days, so I ditch the business casual shirts and wear t shirts. I told him that his cajones are just jealous that mine have made parole. I totally stole that one from you. So thanks!!

my reply is "mini skirts in the wash"

And Rocky, man... you're always good for a laugh!

My current favorite

otherperson: why are you wearing a kilt?
me: because I'd get arrested if I didn't

I usually say, "Because I felt like it," and don't go beyond that because to such people I don't have an interest in talking.

I still like to tell people that I am representing Scotland in ongoing discussions to buy land in their town so that pipers can practice.

"Because I can" is one I use often. Or if you want rid use " It helps dispel my flatulence " that usually results in them moving on.

ps- Never use the above while answering a nice lady.

"Just happy I woke up on the green side of the dirt!"

[Nick the DSM]

I usually say "whats the occasion for pants?".

because to such people I don't have an interest in talking.

Haha, I'm not a stickler for grammar, I just don't see people fronting the preposition anymore. Somewhere English teachers are beaming

My personal favorite is to simply wish them a "Happy (Day of the week)!!". It helps to say this with as much conviction as possible, to try and sell it. No? Guess you had to be there...

One of my favorite responses to "what's the occasion" is "I woke up this morning and still had the ability o convert oxygen into carbon monoxide." That leaves 'em thinking long enough for me to make an escape.

Interesting superpower - what do you use it for?

Well, if I ever get that question, I'm gonna reply with one of these, some are pretty darn funny.
