<By the way, when are you going to get a real bike? David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044> When you're a awesome as me, you don't the the "training wheel"! But since you asked such an original question-not-here are a few more pat comebacks to similarly inane questions, lol! "Where's your other wheel?" -- On my other unicycle! Or: “It got old and worn out, like that joke!” "Someome stole the other half of your bicycle!" -- No, I found out I didn't need it. (or) No, this is all I could afford. (or) No, it was reposessed! (or) No, James Watt mistook it for a tree! "You’re missing the other wheel!-- No, I don’t miss it at all!"How do you *ride* that thing?" -- Recklessly (then I swerve and almost hit them) "How do you get offa that thing?" -- Fall on a smart aleck! (or) Parachute!"What happens when you fall?" -- I DON'T! (or) I try to land on the nearest smart aleck. (or) I toss out my parachute. "How's the weather up there?" -- Peaceful! (or) Partly cloudy with scattered old jokes! "Hey, look at that BIKE!" -- It's a UIKE! (or) Hey, look at that fool who doesn't know what a unicycle is! "Fall down!" -- Why don't you fall up? (or) Only if I can land on you."Don't fall!" -- Don't you, walking can be quite dangerous when you aren't used to it! (or) Don't worry, I wouldn't want to lower myself to your level. "What happens when you get a flat?" -- Then I'm limited to riding on tightropes and railroad tracks! (or) I keep a spare in the trunk. "How do you stop?" -- I run into a smart aleck!"You lost your handlebars!" -- No, you've got the joke wrong, it's YOU LOST YOUR OTHER WHEEL! (or) No, they're invisible! "Can I have a ride?" -- Can you climb?
