If you are speaking and ever have to use (for whatever reason) an illustration about how a stool has to have three legs or it'll fall over then be warned; some smart kid will always say "Milking stools only have one leg". This effectively ruins your illustration and makes you feel stupid and seeing as a kid's heckle just ruined your talk that's fair enough. But how to respond? The best way is through the classic speaking tactic of making the other person look stupid by being witty: "Milking stools only have one leg" "So do toadstools, and you wouldn't want to put your weight on that now would you?". Whatever you do though, don't add "tubby" at the end. They are just a kid after all and it's probably glandular.
hahaha that was good. Would have been more funny if you said 'dont add cnut on the end'
