I still like the one my friends came up with when we would go to the mall. It was a response to the comment"Oh, look its a dog!" usually said by a snotty teenager or preteen to theirfriends to make themselves look cool. Our response was"Dog, what dog, you mean this, wait, I could have swore they gave me a lion,Oh, my gosh, they lied to me." Smile. Usually worked quite effectively, smile. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.

I don't think you should be more civil. I can't believe people can be so stupid. What are they thinking? I dodn't know if I'd be able to thiunk fast enough to come up with some remark, like "oh, no...however did I get here? I thought I was flying to California. Yes, you all definitely should get together and compile all your stories into a book.

I then added "are you kidding?" and the person walked away without answering. I sometimes think folks talk to us and say strange things because they have noone else to talk to and know we won't hit them or stab them or anything. On the other hand, what kind of lives to they have to say things like that? I have also had people ask me "Do you know where you are going?" to which I reply "Oh yes? Do you?" I know perhaps I ought to be more civil in some of my replies but if you walk up to me, say, on a train where I am clearly sitting down and reading (for bookshare or something) on my braillenote and say strange things I just cann't help myself and I say weird things. The stranger my day has been the weirder the things I say are.
