I'm not taking credit for these great words of wisdom in reacting to others diplomatically when we're in certain situations, as much as I wish I could. Alamak! Don't blame me if anything exciting arises from your thoughtful words!
Alan, a buddy I got to know on the net sent this to me:
Somebody is very tall.
* "Do you play basketball?"
* "Oh sorry, I thought you were a lightpost."
* "How's the weather up there?"
Somebody is very short.
* "Where's the circus?"
* "Da plane! Da plane!" (I recall this was the famous 1980's romantic Fantasy Island line by the dwarfish star of the show in the opening scene)
* "How's the weather down there?"
Somebody stumbles.
* "Walk much?"
* "First day on your new feet?"
* "How's the weather down there?"
Somebody burps.
* "Really?"
* "Well put."
* "Did you get any on you?"
* "Just as good the second time?"
Somebody hurts himself.
* "That's gotta hurt!"
* "That's going to leave a mark."
* "You're going to feel that tomorrow."
Somebody says something untrue.
* "Bzzt, wrong answer. Thanks for playing."
Somebody says, "You can say that again."
* (repeat what you just said)
* "That again."
