A friend overheard one guy saying to another, “Sorry, man, I was just trying to have a battle of wits with you. I didn’t realize you were unarmed.”
Ouch!
I was giving a friend info about a game night, when he said he would have to “punt this” to his wife. “I was born to ruin family plans,” he explained.
I responded with, “You ruined your family’s plan when you were born.”
Ooh, zing! I consider that some of my best work.
Motherhood and Martial Arts 
My favorite is for when someone, young or old, may have been served or consumed a little too much and they get a little offensive, sure to put them in their place:” I remember (having) my first beer”. Ok, well it sounds better when you actually say it. I love the ‘Battle of the Wits‘ remark.

You should be writing for The Daily Show. Jon Stewart could use a snarky wit like yours!

Hey, thanks. Did you ever watch Frasier? His brother Niles always had the best witty put-downs. He’s my hero.

Could be. But do I really need an excuse?
