What do you guys say when someone says "I saw you running"

I must have been jogging because when I'm running I'm too fast to be seen.

I smile.

Then I say:

Do you know how many hours I spend running on the roads in this small town every week?

And then I smile, and say thanks.

I like this and the joke will still be funny if they say you were running fast.

I usually make a comment about short shorts before they can say something.

"I know my shorts leave little to the imagination."

"I'm not going to apologize for my short shorts."

"Are you curious where you can get shorts like mine?"

Etc.

I usually ask if my dick looked nice if i was wearing tights

Impossible. I'm too fast to be seen.

Oh cool--that was my second workout that day.

"Cool, what were you doing out at 5:15 AM?"

"Cool, let's go out sometime" (then wink--the most important part). Works every time.

In my small town I only hear this 25 times a week and it is usually strangers at the grocery store. Sometimes they accidently say "I watch you run all the time." I always just try to change the topic before I get their moronic training advice or a creepy comment about my body and escape as fast as possible. .

I saw you driving.

"Glad I made your day."

and

"But you didn't see where I buried him, right?"

This is the only good response in this thread, everyone else here is socially incompetent or has Asperger's.

No, it must not have been me because according to LRC lunatics, I'm a "hobby jogger" and am incapable of running. But, if you saw me jogging, yes that was me.

I wasn't expecting the curse of an English teaching mother to actually pay off this early in the morning. Bravo.

I am a bit confused about this interaction. I understand gerunds, participles and infinitives, but I don't get the joke. Please explain. I am obviously missing something obvious here!

Did you see who was chasing me? Someone has been after me for weeks. I've never seen him, but I know he's there. I keep seeing him ducking behind bushes when I turn around to see who it is. Did you see Halloween? It's a lot like that, but I'm not going to be a victim. Nope. Not me.

Next time you see me running be sure to look for this nut and if you see him call 911, please. This guy is sick and needs to be locked up ASAP to keep our streets safe from the crazies. They are everywhere these days. Do you even watch the news anymore? I don't. Its too depressing so I just scan the headlines. The world is a scary place these days. I'm voting 3rd party this election cycle. You know that's the only way to save this country. We have to take it back.

Anyway, where was I when you saw me? Was I close to your house?

impossible, I say, I was quaffing champagne in the manor house at the hour of which you speak. And then I flounce off. Socially awkward moment avoided.

I usually just ask, "where was I?"...try not to make a big deal out of it but at least acknowledge about what time it would have been that we crossed paths and make small talk about what direction they were going, what they were doing...usually turn the conversation away from me running to what they were doing when they saw me running.

Did my Pure Hate send you home DEVASTATED?

That response because I am a former 2:30 marathoner who couldn't break 4 hours now due to age (60) and weight (200+).......

Pfft. I'm always going kind of slow. "Oh, yeah. I must have been warming down..." is appropriate.

That's much better than "How did I look?"
