the elusive witty comeback
bigredhoss, Jan 08 2012
after a random incident at the grocery store i have decided that i wish to acquire the ability to make witty comebacks. any info that could make the learning process quicker and easier is appreciated.
i just got back from the grocery store to buy some milk, and since it's like 2am here the place was basically empty (just 1 register open), there was a customer ahead of me in line but i think she was the only other customer in the store, also maybe 6-7 guys stocking shelves in the aisles.
anyways, i was in line waiting for this girl in front of me to figure out how to scan her credit card or whatever. the cashier was a guy probably around my age (early-mid 20's) with long red hair and vampire-white skin and overall kind of dirty appearance. i put my milk and a couple protein bars on the belt, and in a random outburst of sociability he asked, "Did anyone say you could buy that [implied smiley face]?"
i did not expect to be interrogated in the grocery store so i was pretty much taken off-guard and really didn't know what to say. i paused for like 4-5 seconds (which felt like a minute) shifting around uncomfortably then looked at him and said "no".
now it was his turn for an awkward pause, and eventually he said "it's no fun if you don't have a witty comeback". i realized that he was right, and that it would in fact have been a more enjoyable moment if i had had a witty comeback. but unfortunately this is a skill i have yet to acquire, although that will change soon.

hi guys,
i'm getting towards the end of season 2 of Burn Notice right now and i have a question:
there's a scene where the hero michael westin is in a car chase shootout and he says that when you're in a firefight on the road that you can fire shots at the pavement underneath the car and they will ricochet up through the under-carriage thru the floorboard of the car (this is assuming the other car is trailing behind you), is this accurate?
