Snappy Comebacks

I'm a dispatcher for a cable company. All I do is talk on the phone to technicians calling in for various reasons. It's boring, frustrating work, but it pays my bills so I keep doing it. I do my best to lighten the calls but I keep getting in trouble for singing to the techs ... it's not professional.

No it's not... but this job drives me to tears some days in it's frustrating boredom.

Anyway, a tech just said to me - "it's snowing. Oh son of a ho-hos..."

Without even thinking about it I replied, "Twinkie the kid?"

Silence. Then the tech said "Wha?"

So I had to explain which ruined the moment but I still had a giggle. :)
