    Off topic alert.....Here's my personal favorite:

    After putting my Mum into a logical corner (can't remember what it was) she said....

    "I feel like I'm in a wrestling here"

    For those of us that know and love loaded language this was a great example.

    English Revised Version - Eph. 6:12
    For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

    She was basically using a thought-stopping technique that was telling her there was no need to engage me further as I was evidently speaking for and on behalf of Beelzebub.

    I found it insulting and hurtful as I knew exactly what she meant.

    I've actually been meaning to put something like this together on my web site as well. I'd love to hear a list of the comments everyone has heard during these circumstances even if you don't have a response to go with them. Maybe the rest of us will see it and come up with one for you.

    I compiled another list a while back and I am keeping it here.

    Feel free to incorporate it in to your site.
