Good Comebacks?

...If any one asks if anything is worn under the Kilt you reply no it,s all in working order

I recently had a woman walk up to me in a store when I was with my wife and ask the same thing. My simple reply was "Lipstick!" My wife smirked (I have about 4 different comebacks that I rotate) and the woman looked confused for about 3 seconds and then it caught up to her. She turned bright red and started laughing...My wife just grinned...knowing the REAL secret!

Ok, maybe I am dense, but I understand every reply I have ever seen to "the question" except this one. Does it indicate that there is a, ummmh how do I say this, aaaahh "ring" of lipstick left around the "appendage" in question from a former question asker, or SO?

Be gentle, this answer has bothered me for a while because I am not sure what is implied, and therefore why it would be used.

Yep, you've got the idea lad. Just carry that thought to it's logical conclusion and you'll have it.

That's one of my favourite responses to "the question." It depends on the company, of course. My favs are:

"Socks and shoes."
"Freedom."
"I'm not good with words, and I'm awfully shy; how warm are your hands?"
