Smart Aleck Answers

I admire people who come up with quick smart aleck remarks.  My mom was really good at this!  I remember I was about 6 years old and we went to the Safeway near Joyce and Kingsway.  It was the old small Safeway with about three cashiers.  After school high school boys would bag or box your groceries.  My dad drove us and was waiting in the car.

The Safeway cashier said to my mom "box lady"?
my mom answered "I only wrestle".
The entire front of the store burst out in laughter!

Here are more, but not from my family:

SMART ALECK ANSWER OF THE YEAR
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow.

I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!'
A smart-aleck student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?'
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.'
