  1. "That's not what your Mamma said last night as she laced up her combat boots"


  2. Lift your leg, f**t loud, long and hard... turn and walk away.

  3. It involves a .45 caliber handgun.  

  4. May the next squirrel you encounter bite you in the azz.

  5. LMBO @ Ron!!

    It all depends on the time, place, and insult. I have found that most of the time ignoring it is the best retort by far. I know that's hard to do at times and swallowing pride sucks sometimes, but can you imagine the world if we had to come back at everyone who didn't like us or insulted us? And no matter what was said ~ when you respond in kind ~ then you are stooping to their exact level and even worse is the fact that it usually doesn't bother them in the least and they know they got to you. This will only serve to provoke further harassment from this individual on top of all of this.

    If someone attacks my family or friends then I will have a severe retort. And my Irish temper prevents me from keeping my mouth shut at times. But usually when I go there ... I end up regretting it. I have had to fight my tendency to be sensitive and realize that what people say to me can only hurt me if I LET it. I read a quote once that changed my life ... it said:

    "I have learned that if someone speaks badly of me ... then I must live so none will believe it".

    I have never forgotten that. The best retort is to live a life that makes others see it's not you that's the problem ... it's not always easy to do, but it sure is a much happier and rewarding way to live.

    Hang tough Steve ... and rise above.

    Peace...

  6. I turn the other cheek

  7. Go suck on an egg.

  8. No one I know insults me.  They all know better.

  9. It depends on the insult, but I usually go with "Suck it", or "Really?  That's the best you've got?  I'm dissapointed".

    If I'm really pissed about the insult, I'll go with the standard "F you".

  10. Sis on you,Pister. You're not so muckin' fuch.
