Sadly, you missed one of those opportunities where you would have said the wittiest thing possible
Rather than coming away from it and half an hour later thinking, "Damn, I should have said 'Not enough.' That would have showed the bastard!"

Although perhaps it's best that you did bite your lip. Chatting to a friend yesterday over IM, I made a holocaust-related joke in an unthinking moment and she was so horrified by this that she felt the need to telephone me to tell me that this was not on.

I knew right at the moment I thought it that it would be a terrible idea to speak it
My self-preservation intuition kicking in.

I guess at least if you had let it slip and he'd looked at you like you'd just vomited on his slippers
You could have backpedalled and said "erm...I meant, whatever I'm taking, I'm not taking enough of it..._{PLEASEDON'TFIREME}"

On the other hand, reassuring your friend about asking out some German guy by saying "Well, he should be fine as long as he doesn't cancel your dates because he has too many Jews to gas,"
is a bit harder to dig yourself out of.

Yeah, self-preservation was feeling far too laid back to kick in before I hit "enter"

Ah, the perils of spending time on B3ta
Everyone outside of this forum I've told my 9/11 10th anniversary plan has been appalled by it too
