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

[Dave Longenecker]

We all get the same silly remarks:

1) "How do you get that thing under your chin?"
2) "I betcha now you wished you had taken up the piccolo!"

I have a standard two word comeback that I would like to say, but I would prefer a better witty comeback.

As for me - I can say "I can get this thing under my chin because I'm a Long-necker." which only works if they know that my last name is 'Longenecker', but I would prefer something better.

Sometimes I'm carrying my bass and see someone with a 'wise-ass' look on their face about to say something, so I head them off at the pass by saying something silly like: "Man, I wish I had taken up the piccolo now, because this thing is too hard to get under my chin!" I've seen that comment deflate a few 'wise-guys'.

Anyway, anyone have a few good comebacks they could contribute? We all need them!

Cheeerz!
