WITTY COMEBACKS

Some days are just not as good as others. So gear up and be ready for them. Have your punch line ready:

- (To a surprise negative)…If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

- (When something you dread)…Does it come with a serendade?

- (When life gives you lemons)…Take it back, It’s not what I ordered.

- (frustrating news?) It could be worse. I could be pregnant.

- (Feel a challenge coming on) Here we go again.

--(When lectured to AGAIN) Start singing the song "Amen"

- (When given a stack of work) Are there calories in this?

-(Late?) My Ric-a-shaw had a flat tire

-I have no time for a crises, my schedule is full.

-I refuse to be intimidated by reality.

- Does it come with a serenade?

-I refuse to let the facts cloud my judgment.

- Here comes more fun.

-Beam me up Scott.

Don’t let them "Get your goat" – show them there is no goat. Use humor. Change the focus. Take it a complete different direction.

When you get to the end of your rope. Tie a knot on it and swing! Leo Buscaglia
