Need a good 'comeback' for..."How do you get that thing..."

[Dave Whitla]

I used to get the big guitar comment all the time. One time there were three of us walking with our basses to a gig when we passed a guitarist going the other way. One of the guys said, "Hey, that's a pretty small double bass you've got there!" Sadly, the guitarist didn't get it, but we were falling over laughing.

I still have no good reply for Dave though, other than something like, "What do you mean?? ... Huh? ... I don't get it..." Or how about, "Wow, that's a really interesting and funny comment and you're the first person in the whole world to ever say that to me!"
