A co-worker, out of curiosity and no malice, asked me today. "What would you do if I took a pair of scissors and cut off ypour ponytail?" I turned to looka him and giving my best cocked eyecrow Sam Ellioot look. simply stated, "I would bring swift and hard assualy charges upon your person and your holdings. I would then have you shot." He was visibly taken aback by my response, as he knew I meant it. So, any other questions?... Hmmm!?
I would have just said i'd have the co-worker arrested for
assault.
I Often respond to that with...."do you like being able to feel your face?"
Man, I cannot WAIT until I get asked this question! I just love being a snarky bastard, and any time that someone offers a perfect setup like that I just jump on it.
Seriously, what makes people ask this question? You don't see me running around asking, "What would you do if I crane kicked you in the balls?" Or, "What would you do if I just started groping you breasts?" What do you think would happen? I'd punch you straight in the face! And then I'd sue you back to the Dark Ages.
Hi Rktect,
The ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me. If I was asked that question I would probably tell him"How would you like it if I shaved your head right now?". Then I would tell him that joking about my hair is off limits. Then I would ask him if he had any other questions.
I do , however love your response:) Please keep your beautiful hair growing my friend! Have a very nice weekend!

My reply: "I'd do pretty much the same as I would if you took a pair of scissors and tried to cut off my balls. I'd punch you out and then get you arrested for assault."
It's assault - pure and simple. Why would your co-worker think it was anything else.

My personal favorite thatI've been using for the past 4 years or so: I'll slit your throat with those same scissors. Excessive? Maybe. But short and precise and I've already been close to doing it but when I flipped the guy over a table, the scissors flew across the room.
