You know the statement, "better late than never"? Yeah, I don't think that really applies to everything. Here's why. When I walk away from a conversation, and think to myself later, "man, I should have said ____(Fill in the blank)____ - THAT would have been AWESOME!!" I should be able to call up all involved parties in said conversation and - ZING that one-liner right in there, and.... the response would be all the laughter, accolades, and awe at my quick-wittedness, that I so rightly deserve!
But it just doesn't work like that.... or does it? It's not like I've ever actually tried, so maybe I should test this out. I don't really have time to set up the continuity for every conversation here, so just imagine a conversation we've had, and if any of these are the verbal icing on that cake, then let the laughter ensue, or whichever response is most appropriate.
Here goes - here are some of the one funny, smart, sassy, and poignant things I would have said if I'd have thought of it in time.
1: Or we could make a Karey sandwich!
2: Does it hurt like when somebody hits you in the head with a pot?
3: Those weren't real fish-heads.
4: Maybe if you tried it with an Australian accent!
5: Just make it look like a chicken did it.
6: Chinese food doesn't count.
Do I hear crickets? Yeah, that's what I thought.
So, no, people. Late is not always better than never. Sometimes never is best. Never. Ever.
Ever.
