My dad was a school administrator for 33 years. On one occasion a parent challenged him to come outside and "settle things". He told the parent he would, but first he had to say two things:
1. "I'll press charges against you" and
2. "There's a good chance you can't whip my ass"
Always thought that was hilarious.

Daddy: "So what'd you do last night?"
Hungover Rhi-Rhi: "Went out to the bars with the girls."
Daddy: "I guess you got up and went to church this morning, didn't you?"

Person: "You don't like bubble bath?"
Daddy: "Course I do, I just usually make my own bubbles! Harharhar!"

so of course then I'd refuse to eat whatever it was.
I mentioned that story to my doctor during my last breast exam and joked how I was grateful for the warning,
as it probably saved me a thousand dollars in laser fees and she burst out laughing -
apparently her dad used to say the same thing.
Anything to lighten an awkward moment!

My Granny was notorious for getting on your everlovin nerves. You'd be sitting watching football, she'd start in with how "Opal Mae across town has been dealing with a bad case of the gout and have you seen the price of milk lately? Oh, I was down at Old Town Market today and that little boy you went to pre-school with is working the checkout, he's going off to school at Tech in the fall. You know, you'd better learn how to start liking green beans and collards if you're ever gonna get a husband." (Hmm... maybe that's why I'm single...?)
And one day in particular, she had me almost in tears with some smart comment she made, and my Papa walked past me in the living room, put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Sis" (his nickname for me and my Aunt Suzi), "don't let her get under your skin, I've been married to her for 57 years, she makes me madder'n a hornet, so that's why I pretend I'm losing my hearing. Truth is, I could hear a pin drop in the next county." And he chuckled and walked off. Made me feel much better.

It's always
"Nooo Shiiit?"
or
"You've gotta' be SHITTIN' me?"
or
"AwwwNOoooooOOoo"
Imagine it in kind of like a Hulk Hogan voice mixed in witha little dramatics. Me and my brother laugh all the time because we know it's coming haha.
