I was expecting to see an age old line you used long ago. "I'd just get up and take a dump right on the table."

My response is generally a curt one. Something like "it doesn't matter, the hand is over" sends the signal that I don't appreciate being put in a positon to answer a question that should never have been asked.

Tell them what they want to hear. Ignore what you actually had. If they ask, did you have QJ? Yeah! I guess I could've had that!

Or...(somewhat softly, almost to self but audible enough for the idiot) Man, I've always wanted to pull something like that off...(followed by a quick headshake signifying relief that they folded)

Don't worry about what you actually had and that they might 'guess' it right. Treat every guess they do as the same. They still don't know. This could actually give you practice with your pokerface at no risk.

Some do act as if it's social hour on the table. Claiming the friendliness of the game and all that crap. Just have fun with it. Explore the possible creativity of the situation.

Kinda nitty, don't ya think? This actually refers to other responses in this same vein that are in the thread.

The most striking response I've heard in a similar situation went something like, "Ask me that again and you'll be picking up your teeth." Uncomfortable silence ensued.

I always say "same thing you had - two cards". It seems to always get a chockle or two.

This is one good reason to play with headphones on. You don't need to have music playing through them, just wear them.

My response would be: "relax and call next time".
