While getting ready for my ride today I had my muni in the back of my station wagon with the hatch open. As I was filling my waterbladder at the hose a gentleman in running gear walked by and saw my uni. He walked past and then came back and asked "is that a bike with one wheel? I suppose it's not a bike then is it -- spickydoo - one hot wheel "They say you can pick your friends, You can pick your nose, But you can't pick your friend's nose. " Unibrier "If I wanted to be totally healthy I wouldn't smoke pot, drink alcohol or stay up too late, and how fun would that be?"

Nice one. It's hard to know what to say when that happens.
I had a comment come up the other day. I was on a trail,
honking up the hill at my usual snail's pace when an old
gentleman hiker came around a turn and said "Well, you don't
see that everyday!" I managed to blurt out "Well, actually,
I do!". One of my finest come-back moments.

My least favorite is "you are missing your other wheel." If
you can't be original, why bother commenting. I feel like
saying "Damn, that's the first time I've heard that!" but I
don't. Instead I usually say if they are walking "you are
missing both." or on a bike "I don't need the training wheel
any more."

best one ever- I was practicing in the park one day and this
one kid says to me "hey, do a wheelie" and before I can even
reply, his friend, standing next to him smacks him on the
back of the head and says "he already IS, stupid."

Are you SURE the comma was there?:p
A few weeks ago, i was on the Coker and went past a gang of
lads. I diverted and rode down a short steep hill, across
some rough ground, and most of the way up the next hill.
A couple of weeks after that, I went past the same gang,
and rode down the short hill towars them. Then we had
this exchange:
"Ride up that hill." "Not likely." "Go on, ride up the
hill." "Do I look stupid?" "You did last time."
Hmmmm. :o 😕

I think you can be fairly sure that that was lost on its
originator.
