Being Witty !
Wittyness eh?
Its a type of intulectual humor. You have to be sharp, quick and say the funny remark at the right time! They say its charming, and people notice that about you.....eventually*.
I absoloutly LOVE IT.
I can be witty.....
But only with my friends. Generally im comfortable around them. But I can't use my wit with new people i meet, or people i don't know very well. : (
Mostly im to slow, or i can't think of any remarks to make. ( any that i think are funny)
What do you guys think? any tips?
I know some of you on instructables are witty and have smart humour,......i can tell from your comments. Lol.

Only if I drink too much water ;-)

Then you would be drunk.
By the way, calling someone in Chinese (sui nao,water on the brain) means there is a screw loose. Dian nao,electric brain on the other hand means computer.

If you can't take the heat, then you have to get out of the kitchen...or use sunblock and tanning lotion. I wanted a cold case so I stuck it in the fridge.

Do you bite your thumb at me?
Reply 11 years ago
I do not bite my thumb at you, but I do bite my thumb, sir.

I try to avoid feeding on my own appendages :-)
Reply 11 years ago
I've never known you to bite the hand that feeds you.
Reply 11 years ago
That could be referred to as a form of overbite I suppose :-)

Is that speaking with a forked tongue?
Reply 11 years ago
A forked tongue would be handy....I would only need a knife and spoon then to eat with
Reply 11 years ago
Do you eat while spooning often? ;-)
Reply 11 years ago
I am married....I am forbidding to be out spooning ;-) at least in public...
Reply 11 years ago
But definitely in private! ;-) Lucky wife...
Reply 11 years ago
the word "forbidding" should have been forbidden
Reply 11 years ago
At least if was not "foreboding"...
Reply 11 years ago
No, I only have one abode, nor four ;-)

This bodes well for you!

I need my bod(y) to have less "swell" factor
Reply 11 years ago
What could be better than a swell body?? I wish mine was "as well..."
Reply 11 years ago
Well, my swell is around the midriff, and I look like I am 8 months pregnant (and have been now for a good 6 years, so I don't want to hear from those that carry this kind of weight for only a few months before giving birth, how no man can understand....believe me, I know). I have actually lost about 10 lbs though since my operation, so I am slowly reducing the swell and can actually put my shoes on without overstraining (like I have been doing for the past 6 years). If you wish for my body, you can have any of the extra I have ;-)

Spare parts, eh? Give that a wide berth...
Reply 11 years ago
Not parts, insulation ;-) I could do without the middle-earth spread (spread spectrum waist)
Reply 11 years ago
I think that's what Frodo was doing, preventing Sauron's evil forces from spreading around middle-earth?
Reply 11 years ago
Well, in looking at him, he was doing worse than I was....or was that Bilbo who got chubby...

Samwise...
But I think Bud's Weiser.
Reply 11 years ago
only because Ara's gone (bah, that was bad).
Reply 11 years ago
:-(
Reply 11 years ago
But since it hasn't been forbidden, you may feel free to use it to its fullest!
Reply 11 years ago
I can relate LOL

He doth protest too much.
Reply 11 years ago
The quote, I believe is The Lady Doth Protest too Much, me thinks.Hamlet Act 3, scene 2, 222-230
Though this be madness, yet there is method in it. ;-)

Are you just quoting or method acting?
Reply 11 years ago
I don't act....I am the read deal....especially when playing poker...
Reply 11 years ago
It would really hurt if someone was poking you.
Reply 11 years ago
I don't let anyone pok-me-mon
Reply 11 years ago
That was an animae-ted reply...
Reply 11 years ago
And now, for something completely indifferent ;-)
Well, I don't mean to imply that all of my replies that I supply are puns (or even funny ;-) I like to rhyme, spoof, and make subtle pokes at the ridiculous.
Reply 11 years ago
So you mean to apply the claim that most of your responses are pliable?
Or is that a claim to be used as 2-ply?
Reply 11 years ago
they are more pliable then they are palatable LOL
Reply 11 years ago
They certainly seem to roll off your palate easily.
