A small, flaccid, dingly-dangly.
I thought it went without saying.

I've been asked questions like that. What I say if it's a stranger who asked is usually some variation on the following basic psychological truth: "You know, that's an interesting question. You don't know me at all, so I'm guessing that your question says a whole lot more about you than it does about me."
If they hang around for an explanation, which they generally don't, I'll offer something like: "It's been my experience that when a person asks a question like that of someone whom they don't know, it generally means that the person asking the question has an issue about themselves that they'd rather not admit. It becomes easier to put it onto someone else."
There are a number of psychological processes, all of the defensive variety, that can be implicated when someone asks a question like that of a stranger.

I'm no fun....I tell them the truth.
I tell them that I've been working 6 to 7 days a week since I was a junior in college. My house is paid for. My daughter's college is paid for. I have zero credit card debt. So I told them that my best friend said that I've taken care of everyone else-now it was time to take care of me.
By the way, if she even comes close to a "small dick" mention, I tell her that I'd be happy to "drop trou" right here and now and gladly prove her wrong. And....if she wants references, I'm happy to supply them on demand.

ahh.. the benefit to having a "non-flashy" colored corvette lol... on the days i yearn for a bright Yellow C7.R, i'll think about this thread and it'll remind me i did the right thing.. no offense but no red and no yellow!! it invites J/O's and remarks like those (and jealousy)...
People have nothing better to do.. Dave, i would've been caught out there just like you were.. the modern day "people just say what they feel" lol..

I would of scoffed at her and said.. " **** good thing you didn't see my Truck.. That one is a total give away for compensation"....
Or if the mood was set by her as "Bitchy".. "I need something to keep me hard because looking at you is like jumping in a frozen lake!"

The best response would be a brief vacant stare, no words, look away, and act as if that individual does not exist. Anything else is positive reinforcement for utter rudeness.
