What is a (good or bad) comeback that you thought of hours after an argument/debate?

One of my more terrible ones is,

"Well, the man sure can limbo, right under the bar that [political opponent] set."

I think of comebacks years later. And at the moment I can't remember specifically what they were. But I promise you they were good.

Boys on e-bikes that are too stupid to understand how they put a disabled person like me in danger while I'm doing physical therapy on a bike trail:

  • lithium legs
  • iddy biddy lady legs
  • sexy little lady legs
  • heavy Huggies dumped a load on his power wheels

After all the cars that have hit me (7) and bullshit I've seen in 15 years and at least 170k miles on a bike, no one riding foolishly will last for very long.

A few years ago, VICE came out with a piece about a hypothetical private bodyguard business someone started up in China, but the laws would restrict a lot of the ways you could actually guard a body, so one thing led to another and it turned into what amounted to “martial arts elitism” (and apparently people think your smooth moves can stop projectiles). After the fact, I chuckled at twisting a Bible verse to say “man does not live on fists alone.”

This is something someone replied to not even me during a joke fight years ago but I still think it's the funniest thing.

"Where do you get off?"

"On your mother's chest."
