Betty,

    My hubby asked the same question of ignorant people. I have never heard
him say it in person, just in the course of relaying past experiences. You're
right , it's not the best response, but it sure seems to shut some jerks
up..So go ahead & vent. If you can do it while at the same time zinging in a
clever way ..more power to ya.

Karen :)
