The SNIPER

(Snipe back) Say: "What's the matter Rickles? Didn't take your medication
today?"

R&R: Ooooo, such a snipe and so original. We are quaking in our boots.

RICKLES: Hey, don't get all emotional. Can't you take a joke?

(An eerie silence hangs in the room. People shift uncomfortably. Someone clears their throat and it seems quite loud against the silence. Rickles is grinning at you.)

YOU: So a close look at the numbers shows us ...

(Rickles mumbles loudly enough for everyone to hear), "Maybe you should sue your brains for non-support!" (Snicker, snicker)

YOU:

(Show him you mean business. Continue to snipe and cut him him down) "You know, Rickles, I wish I could lower my IQ so I could have a meaningful dialog with you!"
(Ignore this immature behavior and refuse to stoop to his level. Stand there in annoyed silence for a moment, and then go on.)
