"Are those real?"
How do you counter a question like that? I tell me female friend to answer "Are you a pig?" but that doesn't have quite the impact she was hoping for.

8. An older New England Aunt
always told us just to stare at them, never say a word just stare at them. I would probably have looked at some place on them and asked the same question about theirs.

24. That's a good one!
Much better than "Are you a pig?"

11. "What did you say?!"
Then when they repeat themselves...

"Oh, I heard you. I just can't believe you asked that."

12. Sometimes silence is the best reply
I'd say this was one of those moments. It'd be even more effective accompanied by an icy glare.

18. Silence like that can be excrutiating.
It's hard to just stare and not say anything, but if you can pull it off, it's devastatingly good!

The eyes will do the talking.

25. The Miss Manners method
I love love LOVE Miss Manners. Does she have a fan club? Her advice to responding to REALLY rude questions is just what you say: silence accompanied by the icy cold stare. I think that is indeed better than some comeback.

I always thought questions like that only happened on TV. Apparently I'm wrong. Apparently some men really are pigs.

27. But then I'd have to ask her
And she'd get a chance to use my own advice against me!

20. I would simply reply "Baby, these are all organic!" with a big smile.
No harm done...

One of the character types, female dwarf, has the joke, "No, they're not real, but thanks for noticing."

28. Would "Are you completely biodegradable" be better?
It's certainly not "body part specific." ;-)

30. Just stare back in mock (or real) shock.
A Lexus salesman asked me if I was pregnant once--I wasn't (though I had recently given birth to my son)--and I just stared back at him for what must have been an entire minute. I admit to thoroughly enjoying his visible discomfort at the gaffe and I believe he learned a lesson!

No one but my SO/lover/spouse should make anything as personal as the comment your friend or I got.

He got no commission from us--we went to another dealer and made certain the manager on duty knew why we were leaving.
