Reached Way Down Under For That Comeback

I am an Australian. I was working in London and got on really well with the team I was working with. One morning as I came into the office, someone joked:

Coworker: “Watch your wallet; here comes the Australian!”

Without even thinking, I responded:

Me: “F*** your wallets. Watch your women; here I come!”

I could tell by the looks on their faces that they didn’t expect that response and just didn’t have any comeback for that one.

This was twenty-five years ago now, so humour has changed since then. I don’t condone what I said back then, but I would definitely never say that today!
