I don't know if this is factual but when I read this, I knew I had heard the best come back line of all time. I'm not saying this isn't sexist or pro anything, just a great comeback line. Decide for yourself. Post any others that are worthly.
THE BEST COMEBACK LINE EVER! Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. ********************************************
FEMALE I NTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended. You gotta love the Marines.
OK, the post below indicates that this is not real but, it's still a great comeback.

And the best 'hoaxes' are the ones that would be the most plausible, such as a biased 'reporter' jumping to unsubstantiated assumptions and 'interviewing' but not really conducting an interview but an inquisition.

My college buddy Tony and I are in a bar when he starts hitting on a girl next to him. After a few minutes of listening to him prattle on she turns to him with a rather haughty demeanor and proclaimed, "I wouldn't go out with you if you had a 12 inch ****"
To which Tony replied (without skipping a beat), "Forget it! If you think I'm cutting 3 inches off my **** for you YOU'RE crazy!"
You never in your life heard such intense belly laughing!

She admitted she wasn't nearly as hard on Al Franken. OReiley was there (supposedly) for an interview about his new book, did you hear any questions in that 40 minutes or so about his new book? I heard, maybe a couple that HE tied into it, but none from her. She got him there to get an argument out of him regarding that even bigger sanctimonious jerk, Al Franken.
I don't like OReiley, he's a sanctimonious jerk, IMHO, but in this case, the hypocrisy of NPR was pointed out quite vividly. Had I been in his position, I'd have left about 15 minutes earlier because he was invited on false pretenses. It reminds me of Rosie ODonnell and Tom Selleck. Interesting how it seems to be the left that's so adept at that kind of deception, isn't it?

I wouldn't pee in your mouth if your teeth were on fire.
Well, I would for you, that's just a comeback line.

Do you bid out your work ? I have bid jobs and have been told it was awful expensive. That so and so would do it for x amount less. I tell them I already have experience.

Ewwww, OK, thanks John, I'll remember that one.

At Dairy Queen, my best friend orders a split. The person taking the order gives him the amount so he reaches in his pocket. The order taker then asks: "crushed nuts?" My friend looks at him, "No, just reaching for change."
"If you think I'm expensive, try hiring someone who doesn't know what they're doing."
I have a bunch, just have to dredge them up....

Those were good, please do dredge them up. I honestly don't care if they have been posted previously or if there is any truth in what was said. Half the political threads here are full of inaccuracies and BS so why worry about a simple comeback.

I actually heard a admitted lesbian state exactly that phrase about someone once to her male friends, I honestly didn't know how to react. That is exactly what a good comeback is all about.

I'm not sure how I would have reacted either. That had to have been a WTF moment.

You could say that it was at least awkward. Her male friends responded that she didn't have the b@lls for it anyway.

Not really comeback lines but some of these are pretty good.
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen... and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us mortals. Here are some of his gems:
1- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. 2- Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back. 3- Half the people you know are below average. 4- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 5- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. 7- A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. 8- If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. 9- All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand. 10- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11- I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met. 12- OK, so what's the speed of dark? 13- How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink? 14- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. 15- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16- When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 17- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy. 18- Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now. 19- I intend to live forever; so far, so good. 20- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21- Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines 22- What happens if you get scared half to death twice? 23- My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder." 24- Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? 25- If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking. 27- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. 28- The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread. 29- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. 30- The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up. 32- The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it 33- Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film. 34- If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?

Guy named scott I used to plumb with used to pull off some amazing comebacks.
Drive through attendant-"you know smoking is bad for you?" Scott-"yeah and so is alcoholism while you're pregnant, but that obviously didnt stop your mother."
It was said without the slightest hesitation, I was in awe.

haha
along the same lines, this chick came up to my boss at the time as he was smoking and shes like "you know smoking kills, right?" and hes like "yeah..."
she replies with a smug grin "so...why do you smoke?"
without missing a beat, he replies "suicidal." wipes the grin right off her face, and she just turns around and walks away.

This guy I work with feels he has to explain common knowledge like it is the last thing you would ever think of. It pissed me off so much that one day he did his usual telling me what I already knew 2 months ago and I just said "If you ever talk to me like I AM the retard again, I'm gonna knock the s*** out of you." I haven't heard a thing from him since. ...damn that kid is retarded.
moment.
