Not too long ago, I StumbledUpon the awesomeness of “What I Should Have Said”. The premise behind this site is simple. Users are encouraged to share a situation in which they neglected to come up with a witty or scathing retort, then take an opportunity to express what they should have said in the first place. A lot of the anecdotes are downright hilarious and well worth the read. If you have some free time, I recommend checking this place out.
Being a fan of Seinfeld, anything to do with second-chance-responses (SCR) makes me think of the episode where George was insulted by a co-worker for eating too many shrimp. Long after the incident occurred, George thinks of the retaliatory Jerk Store line and spends the remaining part of the show trying to use it.
“Hey George the ocean called, they’re running out of shrimp!
“Oh yeah? Well the Jerk Store called, they’re running out of YOU!”
More clever one-liners...
1. “You’re gay.”- I really like this one because whoever this is directed at can’t possibly prove otherwise. Sure, they might be straight and get “lots of play”, but the people laughing at their expense don’t care. If you’re a guy, this is especially harmful. Once someone introduces the idea you enjoy ’sausage parties’, your credibility on the subject is forfeit (even if you have 2000+ posts in the forum *cough* loser *cough*). If you’re the type who thinks quick on your feet, responding with a ‘Dad joke’ can be a saving grace.
Example:
2Cool4Skool: You’re gay!
FckngAwesme: Let’s not bring your Dad into this.

I don’t how many of you know this, but I used to work for the TSA. I was stationed at Los Angeles International Airport and that is where I remained the entire 2 years I was employed by the agency.
I left this job last September and because of actions on both our parts (I take responsibility for my shit), it WAS NOT on good terms. The road has been rough since, but totally worth it.
TSA is easily the worst job I ever had. There are several things wrong with the agency itself along with upper management, lower-level management, and the “regular Joes” who actually do the dirty work. The problems, in my opinion, start at the top and get worse the lower you go.
