What I Should Have Said

The French call it l'esprit d'escalier, "the wit of the staircase," those biting ripostes that are thought of just seconds too late, on the way out of the room—or even, to tell the truth, days later. It's happened to you: you've suddenly thought of just what would put your foe in his or her place, but past the time when the arrow could sting its victim. You've stewed in your own juice ever since, and the chance for singeing repartee is gone forever.

Or is it?

What happened: I was on my way to university but, me being a student, I had awoken pretty late and didn't have time to make myself look beautiful or to have breakfast. I made a slight detour on the way to buy a sausage roll. This detour involved walking through the park where i encountered a homeless person sitting on a bench. My hair, not being gelled, was all over the place and when I made eye contact with the tramp he said with a sarcastic slew, "Nice hair love!"

What I said: I gave him a wry smile and carried on my way.

What I SHOULD have said: "Nice house mate"

or maybe less nastily:
"Thanks! You're looking pretty fresh too!" with a grin.

Lots of these guys are bored and pissed off-- pulling their leg will raise a laugh. Be careful not to confuse the common homeless desire for human interaction (no matter how spiky), with a need to belittle people. They're more interested in being acknowledged/recognised than in scoring points.

Seinfeld called it "The Comeback" (Fr: le comeback).

I see you in the park, sometime next week, saying, "oh yeah? The Jerk store called..."

Hey Cecilia,

love your sites! And thank you for sharing Denmark Funk - doesn't sound thin in my book? Sounds like I'll have to learn how to use Garage Band at some point... :-)
