*thunk thunk thunk head on wall*
Why couldn't I come up with a better comeback? I handled the last one all right.
Situation: I'm sitting in a restaurant having lunch with my team. Hot Italian waiter is clearing everybody's pasta plates. Finally he comes over to clear mine.
Hot Italian waiter - Are you done, ma'am?
Me - Yes, thank you.
Hot Italian waiter (smiles, twinkle in his eye and all that) - Done like the pasta?
Me - Uhhh...
I know it's too late but...
Calling: All bewdas
Wanted: Kickass comeback
(Anything would be better than my "Uhhh..." actually!) :/

GOLD!!!
donno if it kicks ass or not,
but maybe you'd have said
Al Dente
Was it in the salad?
you could have gone like...
pasta was badhiyano.. delicious-ano...
(remember that sandhya mridul ad.. andar ano... andar aanoooo)
u liked the pasta right? and the guy was cute? so u should have just given ur sweetest smile and batted ur eye lashes .. it means teh same in all languages!! :P
i've become a fan of your's and a religious follower of your blog.. have been reading it since almost a year now :-)
you could have just smiled at him (and he was cute too). smile works in every messy situation :-)
smart aleck would have said "Yes, Al(l) d(o)ente'"
"Nope. Quite raw. Beware, or you are done for!"
(Boley toh, waat lag jayegi, khat lag jayegi)
But maybe you wouldn't want to say it cos the "cute" guy was "all that"!
Maybe you should explain to the bevdas what kind of connotation you want the "comeback" to have.
JEEEEEEEZ! I went back and read that post and realised that I said the exact same thing last time also! :-/ hell, I'm nothing if not consistent! or persistent! :P
Does he read your blog?
Then you could have just said
"Why, did it come in the newspaper?"
(With special emphasis on the last word)
'Oh! That was pasta! Next time I would prefer my dad's Chicken chulbuli over that pasta' :D
You should have French-kissed him and then followed it up with " Now, I am"!:D
"yup...and as pleased as pie"!
or,save yourself the words and smile! :)
D'oh!
a la Homer Simpson
It doesnt even matter what it is that you say...so long as you make it sound sexy...kinda like Joey's "how'YOU doin'"...oh, and follow it with a giggle and a flirtatious wink. Go on. Try it. "bleh bleh bleh blah blah. how'YOU doin'" *wink* *wink* *big smile* *random loud laugh* . See. Now look at all the bewdas in the bar oggling at me. Erm. *nervous cough* Awkwaaard. Right. Y'all can stop oggling now.
#Blue Bike,
Hehehehe! Good one! Luckily, the restaurant was not called 'Al Dente'. :)
#Tarun,

#realistic dreamer,
//u liked the pasta right? and the guy was cute?
Pasta was ok-ok. Guy was super-hot.
//so u should have just given ur sweetest smile and batted ur eye lashes ..
Hahahahahah! Can you imagine the Bhai doing that??? :D
#Lady Godiva,
Welcome (the formal one) to the Bar and thank you for your kind words. :)
//you could have just smiled at him (and he was cute too). smile works in every messy situation :-)
I can't quite remember, but I think I either smiled or grimaces. Yep, definitely one of the two... :p
#GG,
Ack! Think of comebacks from me man, not from him! He's already a smartass! :P
#Stupidosaur,
Hahahaha! I was gonna say, "Yes, I'm done. Done with you. Get outta my face!" :P
#Shub,
Tera number? ;)
#Stupidosaur,
//(With special emphasis on the last word)
Muahahaha! I like the emphasis. :D
#Urv,

#aequo animo,

#VIDYA,

#Sudipta,

#~vagabond~,
Hahahahahahahahahhahahaha! Shabash! :D
sayesha..just make him read ur blog.. ur 'bhai-giri' wud bowl him over..!! ;))
I meant that u should have asked him if the pasta was served with the salad?
Uhhh
I come back to the bar after such a long time to catch bhai in an "i dont know how to come back" moment!!! Damn...
Time to swallow the disappointment and catch up with all the stuff i missed :)
something spooky like - "shaken, not stirred" :P
Hey Sayesha, liked the drinks at the bar, they are quite intoxicating.
I have just started a blog, probably you could help me in enhancing it.
Do visit my bar...
Maybe he was just asking "Don't like the pasta?" ;)
