Stop, walk over to who yelled and ask how he's doing.
Engage him in conversation. Walk up to him first then ask, "hey, how are you doing". Ask what he's doing there, where he lives, what he's building, how long his grass grows. Ask if he runs. Then act impressed or else ask him why not. Ask what time it is.
Then tell him to "take it easy" and continue on with your run.
Sit Rover Sit was hilarious!

flash them.
Sometimes you guys should actually realize that these people are just joking around. Usually when a group of people yell something like that past us we all start clapping and cheering like idiots which causes them to cheer back at us. No terrible comebacks , no beat up runner dweebs , Works out for everyone.
Except for this one time when i yelled back "Eat Fat Bitch Eat"
f*** you

Almost. Ask if he's accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. Invite him to a prayer meeting. Ask him if he'd like to discuss his sinful ways.
A friend of mine bought me a shirt that says "Run Forrest Run" from the Bubba Gump restuarant. I run in it occasionally, and have never had anyone yell that at me while I'm wearing it, which I think is kind of funny since I do hear that phrase often enough when running to be sick of it. I guess when people see it written out across my chest, they realize it's not so clever.
So's your Face
or
You're a run forrest run
sounds stupid, but say it and you'll be hooked

That's even better haha. Seriously though, I just ignore them. Or I say something like "gee, I've never heard that one before."
i like to yell uncontrollably. like a retard. and maybe fall on the ground and piss my pants. or if im really getting into it, shit my pants. gets 'em every time.
1994 called, they want their joke back.
my name's Dave dammit ... Dave
Get AIDS and die Jenny
you don't know who you are dealing with out there these days....say nothing, don't even look or act like you heard them.....that is the best comeback....ignoring them; not worth your time.
Most of the time, girls running alone will get catcalls and guys running alone will get threats (sometimes beer bottles and french fries thrown at them). However, I noticed that with a mixed group of male and female runners together, none of this occurs.
"my name's dave dammit, dave!" i think thats funny. i also thought the "mama says suck my dick" is funny cuz it keeps in tune with the movie as does "i gotta find bubba". but if you do the mama or bubba one, gotta be sure to say it in your best forrest voice. i personally think itd be funny to just stop and say, "do i know you? how do you know my name?" then just go on pretending that your name is forrest. or you could stop and say "run forrest run? i don't get it." and ask what they mean by that... try to get them to explain the movie and say, "oooh... that movie came out when I was real young... never saw it." but in any case, "my name's dave dammit, dave!" is the one i find funniest.
are you a moron or what? those are stupid ideas.
"I may not be a smart man, but I do know what love is," in a Forrest voice and keep running.
or how about "She said they were my magic shoes. Mama said they'd take me anywhere." or "I gotta pee" or just stop in your tracks right after they say that and say (in a forrest voice) "I'm kinda tired... I think I'll go home now." Then turn around and just walk away.
