Other amusing possible responses: “A bit more choke and she would have started” “Speak up caller, you’re through!” and my personal favourite: “You’ll have to buy that now, you’ve ripped it.” Works on at least two levels :). ---

My favorite is something my Dad always said (to whichever kid was in the _choke, cough_ vicinity): “What’d you say? Your voice has changed, but your breath smells the same!” ---

> [@Whammo](#): > > NONO… I stepped on a spider! > > not sure what that means but thats an excuse ive heard Probably a reference to the mythical “barking spider” which is blamed for making farts sounds. Often used when dogs aren’t available. I like to respond to a fart by saying “Barking Spider, Hidden Dragon.” Or “Some asshole is talking shit behind your back.” ---
