Hilarious Comeback #1

When I think about how it gets exhausting to think of polite ways to explain to people why you aren't married or engaged and yet over the critical point (age 22 or younger in the deep south, it seems), I always need some good comebacks. Unfortunately, while I LOVE this one from "27 Dresses," I couldn't get away with it because my aunt would immediately report this to my mother and all other attendees and the Western hemisphere, thus making my mother's fears (that I'll "embarrass the family" because the cousin who re-married the bigamist after testifying against him in court and who threatened my grandparents with his gun at Thanksgiving is totally legit), but it doesn't mean I can't dream of saying it...

Jane's Aunt: Must be so hard to watch your younger sister get married before you.
Jane: Yes. Then I remember that I still get to have hot hate sex with random strangers and I feel SO much better!

very soon (within days) i'll be 29 and i get the ever popular "do you have kids? no? why not?" and i'm trying to think of a hilarious make them feel stupid comback instead of the truth

aka so far the cancer took that ability and when i think we might go and check out the posibility i have to have an injection in my back or go back on narcotics so its not really a healthy environment for a fetus, ya know...

You could announce that you didn't do so well with small animals so you don't think it's time to move on to larger mammals yet... or that since you're not allowed with 500 feet of a school yet you don't think it's okay to have kids until you're legally allowed to attend a PTA meeting!

I know those could use work, but they could stun people silent. At least for a few seconds while you make a Houdini-esque escape!
