My neighbor is mowing her lawn over the weekend.
A white Buick driven by an OLD MAN pulls up. He stops, rolls down the passenger side window and yells: YOUR HUSBAND SHOULD BE DOING THAT.
She stops her mower, walks over to him and replies: This is his 40th birthday present.
That seems to satisfy the old guy and he drives away.
Other possible responses:
- I’m a lesbian and the butch one.
- What? What? WHAT? {repeat until he leaves. or goes insane.}
- He’s too sore after the strip club
- Bite me.
- Are you a penis doctor?
- Oh, my husband’s inside breastfeeding the baby. {wink}
- My husband is dead. And I need to mow the lawn for after the service today. Thanks.
- {in your best southern accent} Well, sir, I just got tired of being barefoot and pregnant.
- I’m not mowing the lawn. Did you take your meds today? Because I’m really not mowing it.
- {flash him. demand beads.}

I think my knee-jerk reaction would have been “You think so? I can go get him if you want to tell him that yourself”
I like the “Bite me” response, though.

Accidental humor is the best.

LMAO!!

The one with the funeral for the win. When in doubt I always try and make people cry. And that one would fit the bill.

I think I’d go with: Around here I wear the bra and the pants.

I love how we all hate old people (myself included), especially opinionated or old-school ones. Maybe it’s just because being old is so, different. Soon enough, we will all know what it’s like.

I hate busy body old ppl. I would of went with the last one and probably flashed him.
The sight of my breast would of sent him running.
Well, that was bold of him. How I wish you’d had the chance to return the favor! If I’d overheard it, I probably would have been responding on her behalf – bad idea, I know. Which is why I’d be more popular if I talked less. :)

Absolutely I’d go with the “he would if he were alive!”
I am constantly encouraging others in the family to breastfeed our baby. Sadly, only my Father-in-law seems to find it funny. Which skeeves me out. Joke ruined.

What are the youngsters gonna say about us when we are old? :-)

Penis Doctor. hahahahaaahahaha
OMG Alex! I read this to my class and we were all cracking up. Good job!
Hilarious! I love all of your answers! And I’m not a fan of old people in general anyway, so I totally agree that they should stay home (and not talk to me).
I wonder if the woman knew him? That would make it a little better – if he was just teasing her. But if he was actually a complete stranger? That is really weird. What an ass.
I love the B-feeding one the best!
1. “And your wife should be driving.”
2.” Does your wife know you’re out of the house again?”
3. “Why don’t you show me how it’s done.”

Sounds like something that would’ve happened to me, but like your neighbor, I wouldn’t be able to come up with a quick, witty response! Love the lesbian one!

Excellent rebuttals, none of which I would have fished out in the heat of the moment. I always seem to be better an hour later.
That said, however, it’d better be my husband doing it. Or one of my four perfectly capable sons. Not because they have penises, but because division of labor is my department, and I have chosen the nice, cool kitchen, not the 100 degree, 98% humidity yard.

Love it! I vote for either the breastfeeding one or telling him your husband is dead – both responses are guaranteed to make a nosy old man completely uncomfortable.
While any of those responses would have been stellar, I am particularly tickled by the breastfeeding one. Too much fun.

LOFL!! You killed me with the breast feeding one!!!
Well, with all of them really.
There is so much fun inside a person’s head just dying to get out (-’
