Received by e-mail;

I believed that Qlers can beat/surpass below retorts;

1. “How much money do you make?” (“My mother told me never to discuss money, except with my accountant.”)
2. “Did you make a killing when you sold your house?” (“We did just fine, thanks.”)
3. “How much did you pay for that suit?” (“Why, does it look expensive?”)
4. “Is your child adopted?” (“He really does have his own unique personality, doesn’t he?”)
5. “Do you dye your hair?” (“That’s between me and my hairstylist.”)
6. “Have you had work done — like a facelift?” (“Hey, do I look younger? It must be all that clean living!”)
7. “Why are you going to the doctor?” (“You don’t want to know.”)
8. “Are you feeling okay? You look tired.” (“Actually, I feel great!”)
9. “How old are you?” (“Twenty-nine and holding.” Or: “Today I feel about 93.”)
10. “What are you two talking about?” (“Nothing to write home about.”)
