It’s Never Too Late for a Clever Comeback

“Repartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late.” ~Mark Twain

Higgledy piggledy

Humorist Mark Twain said,

“Repartee’s something we

think of too late…”

Coincidentally,

Twain, like most clever folk

suffered not from this: the

talent’s innate.
