How do you respond to

How is best to respond to “infinity plus one” jibes. As in:

Player 1: “Well I wanted it 10 times more than you.”
Player 2: “I wanted it infinity times more than you.”
Player 1: “I wanted it infitity plus one times - ha ha! I win, you lose.”

You see?

According to Robert’s Rules of Order, the proper procedure following an Infinity Plus One proposal is to motion for the committee to begin mother insults.

A poke in the eye with a sharp stick is always good.

I second Sublight’s motion for mother insults. The scoundrel left you no other recourse.

If you want to be geekish, can’t you reply aleph-2?

After “Player 2” uses the “Infinity” clause, he should cap it with “no call-backs”. This effectively ends the one-upmanship.

Player 1: “Well I wanted it 10 times more than you.”
Player 2: “I wanted it infinity times more than you. No call-backs!”
Player 1: “Shoot, that’s the end of that repartee.”

Wait a minute, double dog and triple dog dare was in there somewhere too. Work ALL the steps, dammit!
