Humorous replies to questions from ignorant strangers.

Here is a post-trail started by CLynn regarding a funny response she gave to a question she was just tired of hearing from strangers:

See, David, you read my mind. That was the other reason I was trying it, lol! I really try not to complain, many people have psoriasis much worse than me, but it's on my knees and elbows, and I wear skirts and such for work. Get tired of answering the same question..."what's that on your knees?", etc.
Judy: I bet it gets Very annoying. I am sure you get the questions from random strangers too. Some people really just dont get it......

CLynn: LOL! YEs, it gets very annoying, and many random people. I expect it from children, that never bothers me (might embarrass me sometimes, lol) And....I have a twisted sense of humor and a rather large sarcastic streak, so once, when working at the car dealership, after the umpteeth time answering that question, I told one of the salesmen that it was rug burns! :devil:

Judy: Hahaha..... but did you tell him how you received those rug burns?

Tell people it is an old Shuffleboard injury......

or

you are a professional full-contact golf player and you had to "take one for the team". :)

CLynn: (Snicker, snicker)...Nah, I let him draw his own conclusions. Of course, I turned red as I turned to go, but...
Those are great, I will use those! We have the same sense of humor! :)
