I really thought she was going to hit him. Instead she just turned and stormed off with her friend.
Damn! That's awesome!

That would be me as well.

My friend, on the other hand, has always had a very quick and biting wit.

I think you made up that 74.625% number. I'm pretty sure it's 81.75%.

I'm not quick thinking, I simply take my lead from Winston Churchhill. I spend a good portion of my riding time thinking up ways to answer questions. Good ones I remember and use, bad ones get thrown out.

While I sound witty to the people present, it's simply an illusion.

I'm definitely not quick thinking. I also spend a fair fraction of my riding time thinking up ways to answer stupid questions. I discard the bad responses. The good ones I promptly forget also.

I sound like a moron most of the time. It is not an illusion.

Brilliant.

I'm the same; witty in my mind until I open my mouth; then I'm usually just downright offensive.






You said it better.

I have frequently been asked questions for which I was at a lose to answer. Over time, and after much contemplation, I finally figured out the appropriate answers to those questions. The problem I have now is, no one ever asks me those questions anymore.

Now that it's winter, I'm getting the same two predictable questions nearly every day:

"You're not riding today... are you?" and/or "Are you stupid?"

I'm also getting a few more general comments, rather than questions. To summarize:

"You're stupid."

"You're crazy."

"You're a complete idiot."

"I think you ate too many paint chips as a kid."

"You need to have a mental health exam."

"I think your awesome devotion to riding every day is just smoking hot." (Always said by an equally smoking hot young lady.)

Okay, I lied about that last one. Smoking hot women don't talk to me.
