: Jez & Poopfart,
: I have a minor dilemma. It seems that everytime I come up with a snappy comeback to any type of sarcasm or dry wit I encounter, it is usually three or four days later, and completely out of the question to blurt into a crowded room.
: How can I combat this? Are there classes I can take? Or can I simply call it a disability and apply for a government check?
: Are there support groups for people who are "wit-challenged" that I can attend? And if so, what would we do? Sit and stare at each other hopefully?
: Thanks,

First or all, Sirina, I think you do yourself an unjustice, knowing you for the smart and snappy lady that you are. Speaking generally though, there is a 'group' I can think of. It is called '#The Hun'. People there often make incongruous or mis-timed remarks which go against the flow of the conversation. They are known as 'Guests'. They are tolerated until either they go away or else 'Get a nick' and become part of the regular scene there. Try that.
As for money, I feel certain that there are people out there who would happily give you cash to talk to them in an inapproprate manner ;) How about calling yourself 'PhoneSexGirl' when you go in the Hun.. let me know what arises. Jez
