    The word 'dressmaker' should have given the poor girl a little clue. I don't know what one is either, but geez louise. Great comeback!

    I saw a bumper sticker recently... 'stupid should hurt' !

    Great comeback!!! My daughter and husband would have come out with something like that, I usually can't come up with anything quickly.

    I have several size hams I found at thrift stores. I don't use them very much but when I do need them they are great to have.

    It's a good thing that you didn't ask for a Pressed Ham, you probably would have gotten thrown out of the store!!!!!

    Great come back. I'm sorry that I'm not that quick on my feet.

    THAT IS HILARIOUS!


    Good job with the snappy comeback.

    We've always called it a tailors ham.
