Today I was able to "get" somebody with one my favorite Mark Twain quotes. When I was asked a question today I responded:

"I'm gratified to be able to answer promptly, I didn’t know."

Slightly modified from the original for obvious reasons.

I was blinked at for a moment or two, then was asked "You've been saving that one haven't you?"

"Yep, I only steal from the best. It's a Mark Twain quote."
